Why ABC’s Channel Number Varies on Spectrum
ABC is a large broadcast network with affiliate stations across the United States. The affiliates have a special channel number, which can differ from town to town. Spectrum, being a cable company, captures these local affiliates. Therefore, ABC’s channel number on Spectrum will be identical to that assigned to the local affiliate. That’s why ABC might be channel 7 in one town but channel 13 in another.
