Freeform, or freeform radio, is a radio station programming format in which the disc jockey is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. Freeform radio stands in contrast to most commercial radio stations, in which DJs have little or no influence over programming structure or playlists. In the United States, freeform DJs are still bound by Federal Communications Commission regulations.
Freeform (formerly ABC Family) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by ABC Family Worldwide, a subsidiary of the Disney–ABC Television Group division of The Walt Disney Company. The channel primarily features series and movies aimed at teenagers and young adults – with some programming skewing towards young women – between the ages of 14 and 34, a target demographic designated by the channel as "becomers"; some programming featured on Freeform (primarily consisting of movies) is secondarily aimed at a family audience. Its programming includes contemporary off-network syndicated reruns and original series, feature films and made-for-TV original movies, and some religious programming.
Since the network was launched in April 1977, Freeform has undergone various changes to its on-air identity – having changed its name seven different times, the most of any American television network – and programming over the course of its history. The network was founded as the CBN Satellite Service, an extension of televangelist Pat Robertson's Christian television ministry; it evolved into a family-focused entertainment network in 1981, eventually becoming known as The Family Channel by 1990.
In 1997, it was sold to News Corporation-owned Fox Kids Worldwide Inc. and renamed the Fox Family Channel in August 1998. On May 30, 2001, Fox Family Channel and Fox Family Worldwide came under the ownership of The Walt Disney Company, in a sale that also included Saban Entertainment; the channel altered its name to ABC Family one month later on November 10. On October 6, 2015, Disney–ABC Television Group announced that the network would rebrand as Freeform, officially adopting that name on January 12, 2016.
