In 1985 Chilton became part of the publicly-traded Capital Cities, which later merged with ABC Inc. In 1996, Capital Cities and ABC were bought by the Walt Disney Company. By 1997, Disney sold the Chilton publishing assets, conference management and market research divisions to a variety of firms.
In 2003, the Thomson Corporation bought the Chilton automotive assets.
