�First and foremost, we know that the ABC content will be just right for the shoppers,� said Robert Brazell, IBN Chief Executive Officer. �Research will play a critical role in making absolutely certain that Kroger customers like the programming and find it valuable for information and for entertainment. We think this is a very significant distinction in the approach.

Kroger�s vice president of Marketing, Evan Anthony said, �We trust the ABC brand and their commitment to this relationship is important. We know that our customer�s needs will come first in determining what kind of content is being developed and displayed.
