PSA for All American Once Upon a Time fans confused by ABC
PSA for all US resident Once Upon a Time fans:
Some of you think that you do not have ABC. Allow me to help you.
ABC is standard on all cable and Satellite services within the US. It's ABC Family that is not. If you think you get ABC Family but not ABC you are mistaken. It is impossible to have ABC Family without a version of ABC in the package too. This is a part of Disney's distribution contract as ABC is a standard Broadcasting channel within the US.
Please do not confuse ABC with "Fam" / ABC Family. If you are watching on satellite it's usually a low channel somewhere between the numbers 1 and 30. It won't normally be in the triple digits.
*Please note: Not everyone's ABC is actually labeled ABC and this is where some confusion comes from.
Here is a list of many affiliate names. An affiliate just means a localized version of ABC, it has all the basic ABC programming but it is broadcast from a local distributor who also airs local news.

Many Satellite services label it based on the local affiliate. That means it might be labeled with a different name like WTEN (Albany's ABC). To find out which channel is your ABC affiliate look up which of your channels shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy on week nights (usually between six and eight PM). Make sure you aren't looking on the Game Show network when the search results come up.
Whichever low number channel airs Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy on week nights is your ABC.
