Starting in the New Tens, ABC started making a concerted push to diversify its primetime lineup, primarily focusing on sitcoms, leading to the creation of shows like ''Series/{{Blackish}}'', ''Series/{{Cristela}}'', and ''Series/FreshOffTheBoat''. While ''Cristela'' struggled in the ratings, ''Blackish'' and ''Fresh Off the Boat'' did well enough to be renewed. This success led to the network committing itself to develop shows that feature minorities underrepresented in American television. [=ABC=] has also found immense success with its "[=TGiT=]" block (Thank God It's Thursday, echoing the old [=TGiF=] block). ''Unlike'' "[=TGIiF=]", "[=TGiT=]" is an all-drama block centered around ''Grey's Anatomy'', ''Scandal'' and ''How to Get Away With Murder.'' The block is also informally referred to as "Shondaland" as all three series come from the same executive producer, Shonda Rhimes. A ''fourth'' series, again from Shonda Rhimes, is set to arrive March 2016. It's also notable that the [=TGiT=]/Shondaland block also continues [=ABC=]'s march towards being the leading network in on-screen diversity, including down to Shonda Rhimes herself and most notably with ''[=HTGAWM=]'''s Viola Davis who won a Primetime Emmy for her starring role. They have also begun to revive classic game shows in the summer as part of their "Summer Fun & Games" block (though some of the shows have also aired at other times), including ''Celebrity Series/FamilyFeud'', ''[[Series/{{Pyramid}} The $100,000 Pyramid]]'', ''Series/MatchGame'' and ''Series/ToTellTheTruth'' (the first two having aired on ABC for the much of the 70s, the third having been ABC's final daytime game from 1990-91); a revival of ''Series/TheGongShow'' joined them for summer 2017.

Also during the 1990s, Capital Cities was bought by Creator/{{Disney}}, the network's current owner, who during the first few years of their ownership played this up significantly (ie. replacing the previous Saturday-morning schedule with the Creator/{{One Saturday Morning|AndABCKids}} block, putting ads for ABC programs on Disney, Touchstone and Miramax VHS tapes; early fears of it being rebranded "The Disney Network" were never realized), but this has since cooled down.

For 2018 and 2019, the network and its broader TV operations saw a significant shakeup in the aftermath of Disney's acquisition of Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox[='=]s television studios and Creator/FXNetworks, effectively separating all three from ABC rival Creator/{{Fox}} and folding them into Disney/ABC's operations. With the merger, most of the old guard at ABC was replaced by Fox's leadership, leading many to wonder if ABC will start to emulate that network's reputation for experimenting with newer genres and programming. Additionally, the network also announced that it would vacate its facilities at the Upper West Side on Manhattan and would construct new facilities in Hudson Square that will house all of Disney's east coast operations, in addition to ABC.
