ABC 1

It is not really a surprise that this channel has now ceased to broadcast on my Virgin package as all it seemed to do was show a constant stream of repeats. It had a few good shows which were mostly comedies but it only seemed to have the rights to a couple of series of each and it showed them constantly from week to week. The other thing that I found annoying with the channel was the fact that it adopted the American style of showing commercials in that a thirty minute show would start and then two minutes in it would cut to adverts, then it would show the bulk of the episode before cutting away to adds again. It would then return for the conclusion of the ...  Read the complete review

Though the name suggests it, ABC1 is not a kid’s channel. Yeah, it has kid shows on it, but they’re only on for about a couple of hours every week day. The rest is American comedy.

ABC 1 is an American channel which you can now get on sky and freeview (channel 15). Its great for fans of American comedy programmes, like Scrubs, 8 Simple Rules and Home Improvement. If you're watching it on freeview, however, transmission ends at 6.00pm so you miss alot of the good evening shows. But if you're paying to watch it on sky, it runs pretty much 24/7. The one problem with this channel is the fact that there are two advert breaks in every programme which can ger extremely annoying. There'll be one after the theme tune and one about 2 minutes before the end, which seems slightly pointless. Not to mention the fact that Sheila's Wheels are ...  Read the complete review

~~~~Who or What Is ABC?~~~ ABC in this instance quite simply stands for the American Broadcasting Corporation. It is a subsidiary of Walt Disney after it was acquired in the 1990's.It began life in 1944 as a radio network, and in 1948 they made their first television broadcast. In the 1950's, Warner bros and Walt Disney both produced shows for this network, and helped propel the analogue channels they broadcast on into popularity with the TV public. TV was coming into its own, and the advent of Hollywood style entertainment on the small screen drew in more and more viewers. As time passed, ABC went on to produce many shows that remain in the conscious of ...  Read the complete review
