[edit] Daytime
ABC Family shows many shows that formerly aired on the TGIF Friday night programming block on ABC. However in recent years they have been airing programing from The WB such as Grounded for Life and in 2008 What I Like About You.
[edit] Sports
The sale of FOX Family also included Fox's Major League Baseball cable rights. Starting with the 2002 season, Disney moved the regular season games previously on Fox Family and FX to their sister network ESPN. The Division Series playoff games, however, aired on ABC Family due to complications in the sale. These games used ESPN graphics and announcers. A deal was made to move those playoff games to ESPN, starting with the 2003 season. Although the games aired on Disney networks, Fox kept the exclusive negotiation to renew the contract after the 2006 season, although they chose not to renew those rights, which went to TBS.

[edit] Holiday Programming
- The 25 Days of Christmas
Since its final year of ownership by Pat Robertson, The channel has been known for airing many Christmas specials, such as the Rankin-Bass programs The Little Drummer Boy and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. ABC has since expanded this holiday programming, adding made-for-television movies, a litany of Rankin-Bass shows sequels (this was complicated somewhat because some of the original series, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, were still owned by CBS), and other original programming to create "The 25 Days of Christmas." This program block airs from December 1 through 25, in prime time during the work week and from noon through prime time during the weekends. There have been some movies that aren't necessarily holiday related. In 2006, for example, Harry Potter movies were shown along with Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Also that year, the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman specials were dropped, and Dr. Seuss On the Loose and The Cat in the Hat were added, however, not with How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
The "25 Days" promotion also consists of a contest.
- The 13 Nights of Halloween
Thirteen nights of Halloween programming.
- The Mothers' Day Weekend
The Mother's Day event on ABC Family.
- The Big Kahuna Weekend
A former event for Fathers' Day.
