History
Freeform was originally founded in 1977 as "CBN Satellite Service", which gradually changed to "The Family Channel". In 1998 the rights were purchased by the News Corp., which re-named it "Fox Family". Fox Family was sold to the The Walt Disney Company, the owner of ABC, in 2001, and the channel properly renamed "ABC Family".
