Dear Colleagues & Friends,

          Welcome to the debut edition of In The Know, a quarterly e-newsletter compiled by the DisneyABC Television Group’s Talent Development & Diversity team. Although content will vary from issue to issue, you can always count on finding the latest news highlights and fun facts reflecting our company’s efforts to strive in creating quality content that represents the rich diversity of our audience. From ABC’s Award-winning drama "Grey's Anatomy" to Disney Channel’s "High School Musical 2," when we entertain and inform our viewers in a way that truly reflects the rich diversity of our world, the result is programming that is authentic, rich, textured and ultimately more appealing.

          We hope that you will find In The Know  both interesting and enlightening. And, may the New Year bring you much fulfillment and success!

All the best,

The Talent Development & Diversity Team
