Disney|ABC Television Group's ABC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television Group have announced an unprecedented stacking rights deal for series produced by WBTVG for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 television broadcast seasons.

Warner Bros. will have end-of-season SVOD rights and early syndication rights as well as day-after EST and early DVD rights.

"Giving our audience even more opportunities to catch up on their favorite shows in their entirety, on demand, only enhances their loyalty to and engagement with ABC and our series."

Television Group. "For our studio, the more people watch our shows, the more valuable they become for us over the long run."
