About Disney Entertainment Television
Disney Entertainment Television is the television content creation, production and broadcasting division within The Walt Disney Company’s Disney Entertainment segment. It brings together broadcast, cable, streaming, news and local-station operations, with programming distributed through outlets including ABC, Hulu, Disney+, Freeform, FX and National Geographic.
The present division follows a series of reorganizations beginning with the 1996 consolidation of Capital Cities/ABC as the ABC Group. It later operated as Disney–ABC Television Group, Walt Disney Television and Disney General Entertainment Content before taking the Disney Entertainment Television name following Disney’s 2023 segment-wide reorganization.
Programming and production
DET’s production structure includes Disney Television Studios, encompassing 20th Television, 20th Television Animation and Walt Disney Television Alternative. Its wider portfolio also includes Disney Television Group, FX Networks and FX Productions, Disney Kids & Family, ABC News, ABC Owned Television Stations, National Geographic Content and Onyx Collective.
Its work spans scripted drama and comedy, animation, unscripted and daytime franchises, children’s and family programming, documentaries, late-night television, local news and national broadcast journalism. Supported credits across those operations include Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, The Bear, Shōgun, Only Murders in the Building, The Simpsons, Phineas and Ferb, American Idol, Good Morning America and World News Tonight with David Muir.
Distribution and operations
The division develops, finances and produces television series; operates network broadcast and local-station services; supports content syndication and multiplatform licensing; and provides post-production, finishing and asset-management functions. Its Creative Talent Development & Inclusion initiatives also operate staff-writing and directing fellowship pipelines.
DET’s broadcast and production organization has major East and West Coast operations. Its New York broadcast activities were consolidated during 2024–2025 at 7 Hudson Square, bringing together ABC News, WABC-TV and national daytime productions. Across its portfolio, the division serves domestic broadcast markets while supporting international distribution through streaming and licensing.
