I never watched ABC1 because they insisted on showing mediocre american shows in the american format... ie, start the programme, 30 seconds in - adverts, another few scenes, more adverts. Hated that format and glad to see them bugger off back to the states.
Walt Disney Television Europe initially wanted abc1 uk to be available 24h a day on cable satellite and freeview but could only get 12h a day on freeview due to TUTV using the freeview channel space that abc1 uk uses to broadcast TCM from 7 each night, and as they couldn't get 24h broadcasting on Freeview they decided to pull the plug on abc1 uk via all digital platforms.
i love this tune. reminds me of the great times i had, with my now ex, sitting and watching 8simple rules, home improvement, less than perfect. Ah times gone forever :(
ABC should bring back those logo and really look at it programming it really sad because it used to be a great channel. If anyone form ABC is watching this I have one thing to say... "What have you done?"
Get the old one's back on! The ident now is SO annoying, the same one over and over again, it was great when they had The Feeling "Fill My Little World" on...

To be fair, it only ends at 18:00 on Freeview because Top-Up TV use the space for TCM.

But abc in the uk is rubbish, its just all old stuff and repeats, eg scrubs. they have the latest seasons on e4 but abc1 are way behind
GarethThomas14 5 years ago
Yeh, they went downhill when they became a total comedy station. We only have Ghost Whisperer and In Justice that aren't comedy. :(

Yeah, you're right. If ABC was smart, they'd use that here.
