ABC Studios was a former American television production company that served as a division of the Disney Television Studios. It was founded in 1985 as Touchstone Television, but was rebranded in 2007 to its current name. It currently produces shows like Grey's Anatomy. Prior to 2007, the company produced shows for various networks including CBS, NBC, and The WB. Upon its re-branding it became the main source for ABC's programming. Though the company still co-produces Criminal Minds and Code Black with CBS, it also co-produced Grandfathered with Fox.

On August 10, 2020, Disney announced the television company would be renamed to ABC Signature.[1]
