Which of the following is a major television network?

• A. American Broadcasting Company
• B. National Broadcasting Company
• C. Columbia Broadcasting System
• D. Fox Broadcasting Company

Answer: (A)

A major television network is a nationwide broadcaster with a large slate of programming and a broad affiliate network across the country. The American Broadcasting Company fits that role as one of the traditional, long-standing national networks in the United States, delivering a wide range of programming—from news and sports to primetime shows and entertainment—through a widespread system of affiliate stations. This prominent, nationwide presence is what makes it a classic example of a major television network.
