Topic: The ABC Sunday Night Movie


  
  American Broadcastig Company
The report proposed "divorcement," and on 12 October 1943, ABC was born, the offspring of the separation of NBC.
ABC, unlike CBS and NBC, owned most of its soap operas so the high daytime ratings of shows such as General Hospital, All My Children, and Ryan's Hope could be converted directly into profit.
A decade later, ABC was in the forefront of network financial news once more setting the way for a flurry of media corporate buyouts that would make network history.

 The ABC Sunday Night Movie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ABC Sunday Night Movie was a television program that aired on Sunday nights from 1962 to 1988 on ABC.
The feature films were edited (1) for content, to remove objectionable material (2) for time, to reduce the film's running time to fit into the 2-hour timeslot, and (3) for resizing, so the image would fit the standard 4:3 television screen (as opposed to letterbox format).
From 1975 to 1983 (and again, briefly, in 1999) ABC ran a concurrent movie series on Friday nights, under the title The ABC Friday Night Movie.

ABC's approach may be best exemplified Thursday nights, when it will go into tough time periods with programs that have strong creative auspices.
Before introducing the Thursday schedule, ABC showed a tape of President Clinton in the Oval Office who said he was rejecting a proposal by Harbert ''to change the calendar and get rid of Thursday night.'' Clinton was enlisted for the routine by ABC executive producer Rick Kaplan, who is a longtime friend of the president.
Sunday is the only night to return intact, with an hour of ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' at 7 p.m., followed by the third season of ''Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'' at 8 p.m.

 Strategic Audit:_
ABC must maintain good relationships with this government agency in order to renew its bandwidth licenses and also obtain favorable revisions in the relatively restrictive regulations concerning network broadcasting (Standard and Poor’s, 1997: 13).
ABC responds well to this factor by altering it’s programming to suit the interests of working mothers in particular by airing The Oprah Winfrey show daily at 4:00pm therefore this factor is rated at 3.
ABC also plans to introduce World Cup Soccer to US television programming for the first time (Walt Disney, Annual Report, 1997:46.) Similarly to the news division, the sports division is also weighted at.05 because it affects a limited number of viewers.

 TV Newslite's Flashback: 1980 Fall Schedule
CBS was riding high, having recaptured its dominance from ABC at the end of the seventies.
ABC was waning, but keeping afloat with "Eight is Enough," "Taxi," "Charlie's Angels," and the hit reality series "That's Incredible!" NBC had some success with its own reality series "Real People," but was otherwise struggling to regain the dominance it once had.
In late night, the dominate "Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" was reduced from 90 to 60 minutes, with "The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder taking up the slack and expanding to 90 minutes.

This has been in the works for some time now, but, according to NBC execs, it's likely to be a shock to football fans' systems this fall, when the nation's weekly marquee football game shifts back a day.
`` [The NFL] determined that Sunday night was the night with the greatest growth potential," said Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics, who noted that on the West Coast, people have had to rush home on Monday nights to catch a game that starts at 6 p.m.
Madden, for his part, thinks Sunday is an ideal night to bring women into the football fold.

Much of the movie is literally the three antiheroes racing through the back highways of Northern California as with the fuzz in hot pursuit.
The rest of the movie is the two couples on the run from the deadly cult, who are seemingly everywhere they turn.

 ABC Color Movies (since 1961)
There were perhaps two converging trends at work here: (1) the networks obtained the rights to broadcast more recent feature films from major motion picture studios, and (2) the advent of color TV made these film broadcasts more acceptable to the audience, which had only seen TV as a fl and white delivery medium.
There may have been some discussion with Bacharach to ask if they would allow the movie theme to "quote" from their arrangements if it wasn't using the whole tune or even a whole melody.
So the influences converge -- the proud anthem style in which most movie themes are written, and the licks from contemporary songs "liberally quoted." In less capable hands, this could yield a goulash of styles.

The ABC Sunday Night Movie, airing from 1962 to 1998, contained so many highly rated theatricals, and the James Bond movies were amongst the strongest, most reliable titles over the years:
Such was the Alphabets love affair with Bond that back in 2002, it sparkled Saturday nights with The Bond Picture Show, a 13 movie extravaganza of the James Bond movies, which was pulled after airing nine of the 13 due to disappointing ratings (averaging 6 million viewers, lofty numbers for ABC on Saturdays these days).
With its Thursday, Friday and Saturday movie nights, MyNetworkTV has single-handedly revived the network movie franchise with an eclectic mix of theatricals that continue to surprise this fussy, hard-to-please viewer.
