ABS America

ABS America is an American television network operated by Kabushiki Gaisha ABS.

Background
Plans by the Japanese television network ABS to launch over-the-air television stations in the United States date back as far as 2007, when a feasibility study on the subject of an East-Asian-centric television network was conducted. The network decided to put off the idea, but ruled out any outright cancellation of expansion into the US.

In August 2016, ABS purchased the MundoMax (and former Telemundo) affiliate, KFWD, which would become the network's main station and Dallas-Fort Worth area affiliate.

Affiliates
ABS America currently has a small number of television stations, providing a very limited coverage area relative to that of other networks in the US. Repeaters are often used to extend their coverage to areas surrounding the service city.

Some RBC stations run ABS America's national feed as a subchannel intended to fill coverage gaps. Such stations are not recognised by ABS as affiliates of their network.
