WABC-TV, channel 7, is the flagship station of the Disney-owned American Broadcasting Company located in New York City. The station's studios and offices are located on the Upper West Side section of Manhattan, adjacent to ABC's corporate headquarters, and its transmitter is atop the Empire State Building.

WABC-TV is best known in broadcasting circles for its highly successful version of the Eyewitness News format and for its morning show Live with Kelly, syndicated nationally by corporate cousin Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

WABC's digital signal is multiplexed:

At 12:30 P.M. on June 12, 2009, WABC-TV discontinued regular analog programming on channel 7. The station returned from channel 45 to channel 7. Initially, over-the-air digital signals from WABC were difficult to receive in NYC. The explanation given is that WABC was requested by FCC to broadcast at less power; WABC is among many stations which have found it necessary to increase power to restore coverage to the same level as its old analog signal. On June 29, 2009, WABC did file an application to the FCC to increase power from 11.69 kW to 27 kW. At this time,^[when?] it has yet to be granted. On January 31, 2010, the FCC granted an STA for the station to increase power to 26.9 kW.

Tom Dunn was an anchor and reporter at several New York and Florida television stations.

Dunn was born in Warwick, New York, and was a child actor at radio station WAAT in Newark, New Jersey. He started in television at WCTV in Tallahassee, Florida in 1959 after leaving the army. He served as press secretary to U.S. Representative (and later Senator) Ed Gurney (R-FL), then worked as an anchor and reporter for WTVT in Tampa, Florida from 1962 to 1964 before moving to WCBS-TV where he worked from 1964 to 1968. Mr. Dunn served in that same role for WABC-TV from 1969–1970 and at WOR-TV from 1971-1987. Among his duties at WOR was anchoring the long-running News at Noon. He later worked for WPTV-TV in West Palm Beach, where he did weekend evening and late night news until his retirement in the late 1990s.

Dunn died of esophageal cancer in Stuart, Florida on July 2, 2006.

His wife, Anna Dunn, reported that Richard Nixon asked Dunn to be his press secretary, but he turned down the position because he feared he might not be able to get back into television news if he took the job. Mr. Dunn was an avid sailor, skier, cooking enthusiast and voracious reader. Mr. Dunn also appeared in several motion pictures, including Turk 182 and Without A Trace.
