ABC 7 Chicago unveils new app
With this week’s launch of its Watch ABC app, ABC 7 Chicago became the city’s first station to offer 24/7 live programming on viewers’ smartphones, tablets or computers.
John Idler, president and general manager of ABC 7 Chicago, said the “innovative experience” will allow viewers with participating subscription services to stream news, weather and popular ABC television shows on their devices. On-demand content is also available.
Viewers can access the app at watchabc.com.
