ABC News also announced that it is bringing local content from three new stations to the channel, including KOAT in Albuquerque, WCVB in Boston, and KITV in Honolulu. On launch, viewers could watch content from nine local stations across the U.S.
Live programming, at least in the first 30 days, accounted for 20 percent of the total video views.
