The Prospect Studios (also known as ABC Television Center [West]) is a lot containing several television studios located at 4151 Prospect Avenue in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, at the corner of Prospect and Talmadge Street (named in honor of silent screen star Norma Talmadge), just east of Hollywood.
For over fifty years, this facility served as the home to ABC's West Coast headquarters before the network moved its main headquarters to Walt Disney Studios in 1996. After being there since 1949, ABC's Los Angeles station KABC-TV has moved to a new state-of-the-art facility located on a portion of Disney's Grand Central Creative Campus (GC3) in nearby Glendale, California, in December 1999.
Having acquired ABC's parent company in the mid-1990s, The Walt Disney Company continues to own and operate the facility to this day.
