ABC Daytime (sometime shortened to ABC-D or ABCD) is a division responsible for the daytime programming block on the ABC Network. The block is aired between 11:00am – 3:00pm (ET), which has historically encompassed soap operas, game shows and talk shows.
ABC Daytime has not had a regular daytime game show block since 1986, and has not had any daytime game shows since a revival of Match Game ended in 1991. Though the daily version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire currently airs in daytime on many ABC owned and operated stations and affiliates, it is distributed by the network's syndication wing, Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
Times Square Studios (TSS) was created on December 2, 2011 to oversees operations of ABC Daytime and the syndication programs replacing separate daytime and syndicated units. Except for Live! with Kelly, Time Square took over their remaining soap, all ABC syndicated and lifestyle shows. On October 30, 2014, The View talk show was transferred into Lincoln Square Productions, an ABC News subsidiary, from ABC Entertainment after struggling in ratings and a change in hosts.
Time Square Studios reverts to the ABC Daytime name with the appointment of ABC Owned Television Station President Rebecca Campbell as president of ABC Daytime, which still contains syndication, as an additional position.
