ABC7/WABC-TV New York, an ABC Owned Television Station and New York’s No. 1 station, produces “#ShopLocalish: Holiday Deals & Steals,” a half-hour special focused on supporting businesses across the country with products made in America. The special will first premiere on KTRK-TV Houston, FRIDAY, DEC. 3 (3:30 p.m. CST), followed by additional broadcast dates and times on ABC-Owned WABC-TV New York, KABC-TV Los Angeles, WLS-TV Chicago, WPVI-TV Philadelphia, KGO-TV San Francisco, WTVD-TV Raleigh-Durham, KFSN-TV Fresno and on the Localish network. Co-hosted by Tory Johnson of “GMA Deals & Steals” alongside Eyewitness News’ Sam Champion, this is the fifth special in a series that follows the top-rated program’s premiere in May 2020, where the initial focus was on businesses in the tri-state region impacted by the pandemic.
Celebrating the upcoming holidays, the special will feature incredible deals on American-made products from 23 businesses located across the country, with several in the communities that make up ABC Owned Television Stations.
“#ShopLocalish: Deals & Steals” reflects the station group’s ongoing commitment to support businesses and jobs — some still impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis. The decision to feature businesses across all the stations’ linear platforms gives these companies national brand exposure.
The special will highlight popular gift categories, including wine glasses, fragrant candles, organic beauty, award-winning skincare, tasty food, cool accessories, kitchen and home, and an Oprah favorite. Viewers will be able to shop featured products at an exclusive, limited-time discounted rate of at least 50% off, made available for 24 hours after the airing of the special at ShopLocalish.com.
Some of the featured businesses on “#ShopLocalish: Holiday Deals & Steals” are the following:
- The 125 Collection, a soy-wax candle business started by a Harlem woman in her NYC apartment, featuring luxurious fragrances and quotes that inspire
- Soothe, an aromatherapy dough that uses brain science and essential oils to reduce stress and anxiety in people of all ages
