Last year, Disney+ launched a brand new “Streams” feature in the United States, which offered a ABC News Live, a 24/7 multi-award winning, premium streaming news channel for live newscasts, breaking news, live events and in-depth special reports.

At Disney’s Upfront event in New York, it was announced that ABC News content will be available to all Disney+ subscribers in the United States, offering a selection of the latest award-winning shows, including:

• Good Morning America
• Nightline
• This Week with George Stephanopoulos
• Impact x Nightline
• World News Tonight with David Muir
• Prime With Linsey Davis
• 20/20

Previously, these shows were available on Disney+ to Hulu subscribers via Hulu On Disney+, but Disney has decided to expand its offering of news content to reach as many as people as possible.  Unfortunately, these shows are still only available to Disney+ subscribers in the US.

You’ll find all of these news shows available on the Disney+ homepage in the ABC News Row.

Roger’s Take:  The blurring of the lines between Hulu and Disney+ continues with the introduction of ABC News content.  These additions make sense for many reasons, since they boost the daily content being added onto Disney+, and since these shows were also airing on the ABC News Live stream, it seems logical to also make them available for on-demand users.  It also continues to make Disney+ more of a general entertainment streaming service, having content for everyone but also offering something that other streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime don’t provide.

Will you be checking out the ABC News shows on Disney+?  Let me know on social media!
