content on the ones mentioned in this article are likely to feature

similar.

ABC Family is a pay TV channel in the US. It, like the US's ABC, is owned by
Disney Corp. This company also owns a number of other pay TV channels, like
ESPN.

All the major FTA networks in the US are owned by large media companies that
also own pay TV channels.

However, in the last few years Seven has been looking very closely at ITV in
the UK. Half of it's program production division was part of that entity for
a few years at the turn of the millenium.
