1962–present

In 1962, graphic designer Paul Rand redesigned the ABC logo into its best-known (and current) form, with the lowercase letters "abc" enclosed in a single black circle.

2007–2013

In time for the new television season in 2007, ABC rolled out a new identity package with a new tagline and a new interpretation of their logo. The new slogan, "Start here" (used until 2010), was presented at the upfronts in May. The slogan aimed to position ABC as a multi-platform brand, which can be watched on television, as well as on a computer or a mobile device.

In the new graphics package, the ABC logo would always appear in 3D as a shiny black disc. There were also multimedia icons developed were the ABC lettering was replaced symbols for mobile phones, computers, television screens and portable media players. The new design created by Troika Design Group was used from September 22, 2007 until May 29, 2013. Despite this, it still remains in use by plenty of ABC affiliates' logos.

2013–present

In 2013, ABC modified their 2007 logo. This logo first appeared on the all access website, featured in trailers for 2013–2014 programs. The new logo first appeared on May 30, 2013. Designed by Loyalkaspar, it is inspired by Paul Rand's original 1962 design.

ABC Radio, Inc. (1945-2007)

Note: All stations listed by market size -- largest to smallest -- with call letters at the time they were sold.

WFDF was originally in the Flint radio market before moving to Farmington Hills in the Detroit radio market in 2006. As a result of the station's move to Detroit, WFRO in the Toledo market as well as another station in Northern Michigan (also on 900) were taken off the air to allow WFDF to increase its broadcast power.
Disney/ABC never owned the station, but operated it under a Local Marketing Agreement. Birach Broadcasting has since taken complete, outright control of the station.
These stations are either silent or completely off the air at this time.
WGVX also simulcasts on 105.3 and 105.7.
