What ABC Family renaming itself "Freeform" really means

To me, it doesn't matter what they call the channel anymore. Besides the 700 Club it's all garbage and even though I have the channel (I'm a DirecTV subscriber) I never watch it anyways.

Its still a lousy name. And I dont see a difference with the new name. I mean the same shows are on.

Personally, I quit watching ABC Family (besides a few Christmas movies here and there) many years ago. When they stopped airing "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" was around the time I quit watching them. I'll still refer to them as ABC Family, though. I do not like their new name.

FreeForm is such a stupid name. I don't watch anything on that network anyway.

Their abbreviation on my guide now says FREE.

mets82 · 01-15-2016, 03:59 PM

I guess that means we are FREE from watching this crap.

Welp, looks like the name change was a terrible idea, the ratings for their shows have drastically dropped hard.

I would still think of their programming service as the Family Channel and refer to it by that name since that was its name around the time I first saw its programming and since it does not suggest its ownership like the name ABC Family or any of its other previous names (the FOX Family Channel, the CBN Family Channel, the CBN Cable Network, the CBN Satellite Network, and the CBN Satellite Service).
