WABC-TV, channel 7, is the flagship station of the Disney-owned American Broadcasting Company located in New York City. The station's studios and offices are located on the Upper West Side section of Manhattan, adjacent to ABC's corporate headquarters, and its transmitter is atop the Empire State Building.

WABC-TV is best known in broadcasting circles for its highly successful version of the Eyewitness News format and for its morning show Live with Regis and Kelly, syndicated nationally by corporate cousin Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

WABC-TV Video

Well, the unthinkable just happened years ago. WABC was off the air (As of Sunday, May 27, at 11:51PM EDT), due to a fire. WNBC reports that the fire had badly damaged the Eyewitness News Studio and the Regis and Kelly studios as well. Very shocking and chilling. WABC may have to broadcast the news in their "Newsroom" due to this fire, and at this point, the fate of Regis and Kelly is still unknown. Perhaps they'll broadcast from other remote locations. Anyway here is the video from WNBC. Copyright WNBC-TV
0.45 min. | 3.92 user rating		 Channel 7 Eyewitness News (WABC-TV) Correspondent Roger Sharp tells the story of New York City's Hart Island, a part of the Bronx. Rarely seen by the public, the island is today closed to the press and remains in use by the city as a Potter's Field. It was never developed as suggested in this 1978 report. Aired August 17, 1978. It's a personal favorite of mine for showing how good writing and visuals can produce something really moving out of what could have been a rather run-of-the-mill local news piece. More info on the island from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org

0.65 min. | 3.87 user rating		 WABC New York was America's biggest top-40 music station for most of the 1960s and '70s. It had millions of fans, and influenced a generation of people in the radio business. At noon on May 10, 1982 the "Musicradio" format ended and WABC became a news-talk station. This is how WCBS-TV covered the event on their local newscast that evening. The jingles used by WABC from 1963 until the present were produced by PAMS Productions (www.pams.com), and then JAM Creative Productions (www.jingles.com), both located in Dallas, Texas. This is our tribute to a legendary station. -jmw

Eyewitness News becomes The News as a fire nearly destroys their entire news studio and set. For the time being anchors will now anchor from the newsroom until either a new studio is constructed or their current set is repaired, either of which will take a very long time to occur. Here is the full coverage by WABC covering themselves! In case you are wondering all regularly scheduled programming has been restored after going off the air for nearly 3 hours this earlier this morning. This is Part 1 of 2. © 2007 WABC-TV New York
