The ABCs of Content
ABC and Walt Disney Internet Group are going back to the basics - there's nothing Americans love more than entertainment. Accordingly, ABC will beef up its entertainment news
coverage beginning this September. The new ABC site will incorporate content from Mr. Showbiz and Wall of Sound. And for those curmudgeons who don't get their kicks out of
celebrity dish, they'll also offer increased content from abcnews.com and US Weekly Magazine.
