In a recent thread, I asked if there was a European affiliate to The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in the same sense as CNBC Europe to which someone replied that it was the BBC (??). I then came across this ABC/ITV image and wondered what exactly the ABC meant or if it had any US implications?

ABC was a old ITV weekend Franchise in the North & Midlands regions It dissapeared in 1968 after merging with Redifussion to Create Thames Television. The Above image is a mock up of if they were still around in 1989

Briish ABC is Associated British Cinemas.
American ABC is the American Broadcasting Company.
They are completely unrelated.
Considering this advertises APFS, I see no problem.

Just 'BBC', of course! (ROTFL at such an elementary question)
