The studio is owned by The Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC. It was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering. The original concept for the studio was conceived by Harry Grossman (deceased). His plan had the studio broadcasting many shows around the clock 24 hours a day for both Disney owned and non-Disney programs. QVC, ESPN, NHK, Fuji TV, PBS and CBS Paramount regularly produced programing from the studio during the afternoons and evening when Good Morning America was not on the air.
The core management staff has remained largely unchanged since the studios opening in 1999 with Tim Hayes, Joe Tucker, Jeff Hartnett, Robert Agnello and Maura Hayes.
The site is the former National Theater.
