30 ABC News Videos Accompany Oct. 2 Weekend-Watch Segment

ABC News published its recurring "What to watch this weekend" segment on Oct. 2, 2026, one of 30 videos the network's video index listed that day, with correspondent Will Ganss walking viewers through new options for the big and small screen, according to ABC News' video page.

The segment itself runs as part of ABC News Live's regular weekend programming slate, which that day also carried breaking-news coverage of a FlyDubai in-flight incident, the Cornell University rape investigation, and a weaker-than-expected September jobs report, per the same video index.

What did ABC News publish on Oct. 2, 2026?

ABC News' video page listed 30 separate videos tied to Oct. 1 and Oct. 2 publication dates, ranging from breaking-news clips to feature segments, according to the network's own index for that date. The "What to watch this weekend" video sits among them, described on the page as Ganss breaking down "what to check out on the big and small screens this weekend," per ABC News' video description.

Who is Will Ganss and what does the segment cover?

Ganss is credited as the on-air correspondent for the segment, according to ABC News' posted description. The network's description does not specify individual film or show titles inside the clip itself; it characterizes the segment broadly as a roundup of weekend viewing options across television and film, per the video page.

What other videos accompanied the segment that day?

Four of the 30 videos ABC News Live posted on or around Oct. 2 touched on entertainment, nature programming or sports that could factor into weekend viewing plans, based on the network's listings:

• A 5:26 interview in which actor Josh Hartnett discusses his new film, "Verity," posted Oct. 2, per ABC News.
• A 2:26 first look at National Geographic's "Africa Earth's Wild Home," posted Oct. 2, according to the same index.
• A 1:26 recap of the WNBA Wings-Valkyries game and a preview of Sunday's semifinal matchups, posted Oct. 2, per ABC News.
• A 2:29 segment on "mystery travel" options, also posted Oct. 2, according to the video page.

ABC News' listing does not state whether any of these four videos were the specific titles Ganss referenced inside the weekend-watch segment; they appear as separate, same-day entries in the network's video index.

What is the timeline of ABC News Live's weekend-viewing content?

Based on publication tags in ABC News' video index:

• Oct. 1, 2026: A 3:18 segment on breast cancer awareness information is posted.
• Oct. 2, 2026: The Josh Hartnett "Verity" interview (5:26) is posted.
• Oct. 2, 2026: The National Geographic "Africa Earth's Wild Home" preview (2:26) is posted.
• Oct. 2, 2026: The WNBA Wings-Valkyries recap and Sunday semifinal preview (1:26) is posted.
• Oct. 2, 2026: "What to watch this weekend" with Will Ganss is posted, per the video's own listed date.

The index also shows same-day video coverage of unrelated breaking news, including a Florida minister shooting, a lawsuit filed by the family of Renee Good against the U.S. government, and a report that most Americans lack sufficient dietary fiber for heart health, according to ABC News' Oct. 2 listings. Those items are catalogued on the same page but are not part of the weekend-viewing segment.

Where can viewers watch the full segment?

The complete "What to watch this weekend" video is hosted on ABC News' video platform, where it is catalogued alongside the network's other Oct. 1 and Oct. 2 video output, including ABC News Live's rolling breaking-news coverage. ABC News' page does not list a separate runtime for the Ganss segment in the source material reviewed.

How does this segment fit into ABC News Live's broader lineup?

"What to watch this weekend" runs alongside ABC News Live Presents, a separate strand of longer-form programming on the network's video index. That slate includes titles such as "All Access with Linsey Davis: Angela Bassett," posted Sept. 28, and "I'm Not Ok: America's Postpartum Crisis," posted Sept. 3, according to ABC News' listings. Those programs run far longer than the weekend-watch roundup — the Angela Bassett interview is logged at 23 minutes, 37 seconds, and the postpartum documentary at 24 minutes, 34 seconds, per the same index — underscoring that the Ganss segment occupies the shorter, service-journalism end of ABC News Live's video catalog rather than its documentary or interview franchise.

The index also shows the weekend-watch video published the same day as unrelated entertainment-adjacent clips, including a segment on trending figures Prince Harry, Brooke Eby and Rick Devens, and a report on Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner being found dead, both tagged Oct. 2, according to ABC News. Neither item is described on the video page as connected to the weekend-viewing roundup.
