This TV, an over-the-air network carried on broadcast stations’ subchannels, added distribution to eight major market ABC-owned subchannels on April 1. Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group bought This TV from MGM in October 2020.

The eight ABC-owned television markets which now carry This TV via a new agreement are: New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Houston; Fresno, California, and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, with about 27 million households.

“Allen Media Group’s over-the-air broadcast television network This TV is now well-positioned for greater success with the addition of these eight phenomenal ABC owned and operated broadcast television stations,” Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group and Entertainment Studios, said in a statement. “As we continue to invest substantial amounts of capital into the programming, marketing, and distribution of THIS TV and our portfolio of 11 networks, we remain strong believers in over-the-air broadcasting and free-streaming direct-to-consumer platforms.”
