Capital Cities/ABC Inc. was an American media company. It was founded in 1985 when Capital Cities Communications purchased the much larger American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. They were eventually acquired by Disney and re-branded themselves as Disney–ABC Television Group (now Disney General Entertainment Content) in 1996.
