I think it's intelligent, emotional, character-rich storytelling - at the core, I think those are the most important elements, and I think they can be found across all of our dayparts. That's what, for me, ABC really stands for.
-
'American Idol' is a pop-culture staple that left the air too soon. ABC is the right home to reignite the fan base.
-
I do want to focus on shows that are lighter, brighter, more emotional: shows that give the audience a chance to connect and to feel.
-
We will continue to raise the bar for our audience, investing in great storytellers and reflecting the authentic faces and voices of the world around us.
-
'Nashville' is a show that I personally truly loved, and to not have it back was a little bit of a heartbreak for me.
-
One of my personal theories of 'The Mayor' is that I feel like the show arrived on the scene at a time when people were feeling a little bit fatigued about anything that had to do with politics.
-
It's not about just diversity; it's about authenticity. Audiences are really excited to see more of themselves on the screen.
-
I feel like there's always a lot of curiosity about what happens in America.

I feel like Fox did 'Grease' really right, I thought that was fantastic - it was so well mounted, well-executed, the performances were great, and it had a real sense of fun.
-
We're going to continue to focus on family comedies because that is something that our audience really comes to ABC for. But at the same time, we're going to push the boundaries of what a family comedy actually means.
-
Stories let you be the hero, the doctor, the lawyer, the gladiator. They let you go on a journey.
-
In terms of CBS, I think that the consistency for them, it feels like they have a really clear sense of who they are and what they want, and they're able to keep delivering very consistently on their brand, which is really terrific, and I think NBC has taken some really smart and interesting routes in the things that they've done.
-
What we love about the character Katie, played by Katy Mixon, is that she feels very universal and very relatable. And what we love about 'American Housewife' is that it feels like it could speak for housewives from New York to Los Angeles, from Boise to Miami.
-
'Ten Days in the Valley' has everything: It's a thriller, it's a taut, exciting love story, and it has the kind of character our audience loves - a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed.
-
The truth of the matter is coming up with a title is one of the most challenging things we do.
-
We are committed to getting our content to our audience in as many ways as possible. We are very excited about our partnerships.. and we relaunched our ABC app, which is going to be a great place and opportunity for our audience to find our shows in addition to throwback content and new ABC digital originals.
-
In television, we are fortunate because we get to try a lot of things; we get to take a lot of shots. It gives us a great opportunity to tell many different stories from diverse points of view.
-
When I think about the shows that we have on our air, we've been known for a long time for shows that feature strong, dynamic, powerful women at their forefront. And we're going to continue with that kind of storytelling.
-
Advertisers like shows that viewers like to watch live.
-
We're very clear on 'black-ish' about how many opinions are voiced by Dre Johnson.
-
At the end of the day, broadcast television has many opportunities to inform the audience, to enlighten the audience, and to entertain them.
-
I want ABC to be a fantastic home for creative, talented people with unique points of view and personal stories to tell and for us to be able to support them in bringing their ideas to the screen.
-
I love the physical movement and beauty of dance.
-
We all know that there are different scripted programs out there, and we're all facing the same challenges in terms of ratings and everything else, but I think that there is a lot of opportunity to be had as well, and what I'm excited to do is to get to explore that.
