If everything else seems to be working properly, especially other ABC shows, it is most likely an issue with the content on ABC's side. So, what Mr. Churchill said... ask ABC.
So just like Netflix sometimes says the content is unavailable is more than likely an issue on the content provider's side. Maybe there's too many people trying to access it. Or It's on a server that's pumping out a lot of time-out messages.
Usually your device will try to load the media but it has to confirm it with the server that is providing it for each packet sent to the Apple TV. This shouldn't be an issue with streaming because it uses UDP. But when initializing, if the server didn't get a confirmed packet delivery, it will timeout. So usually setting up the streaming session uses TCP to confirm settings and the path to the streaming device.
Basically tough luck, wait it out, it will work tomorrow for sure.
