AMG Plus

AMG Plus is a streaming service owned by ABC Streaming, the parent of ABC Media Group. The service launched on October 10th, 2022 to compete with Pluto TV, Plex, Tubi, and Xumo. It features over 500+ channels and 1000s of movies and shows designed to cater to specific audiences.

History
At an ABC Media Group (then USTV Networks) conference call on May 23, 2019, it was announced that the company would develop a live-TV service for the public, and designed to compete with the other live TV service. At development, its initial slate of channels was only 65 and only 1,000 movies and TV shows. However, a company restructuring in 2020 scrapped the plan.

On August 11, 2021, the LSN network was switched to an autopiloted-program schedule due to the company's disaffiliation with the Fictional TV Stations Wiki as well as Logofanonpedia. Five months later, on January 11, 2022, the company relaunched LSN, eventually preparing it for a switch to a general entertainment channel on October 24, 2022. The streaming service, renamed ABC IPTV Digital, was announced on July 9, 2022 with limited partnership.

The streaming service now has 525 channels, including a revived streaming version of the defunct NBCSN channel. On March 25, 2023, it was rebranded to AMG Plus, to better align itself with the company's channels.
