ABC Signature[1] is an American television production studio and the flagship production arm of the American Broadcasting Company, which is a subsidiary of Disney Television Studios, a sub-division of the Disney Entertainment business segment and division of The Walt Disney Company.
Established in 1950 as the television unit of the company under the name Walt Disney Productions it was renamed Walt Disney Network Television in 1983 and was merged with a separate studio known as the first incarnation of Touchstone Television, which was established in 1985. Disney rebranded the studio as ABC Studios in 2007 in an in-house push to drop secondary brands. It was then renamed to its current name on August 10, 2020, after it merged with another separate studio, ABC Signature Studios.[1]
The studio's banner has been used by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment for its distribution of the studio's shows on home video since 2008.
