In addition, ABC sophomore drama "Body of Proof," which came in midseason, is improving its hour by 18% over the year-ago drama it replaced ("Detroit 1-8-7").

· ABC is Up in the 10 O'clock Hour: On Monday-Friday from 10:00-11:00 p.m. as a lead-in to affiliates' late-local news, ABC is up year to year during the November Sweep in Total Viewers (+6%) and the key Adult 25-54 news demographic (+3%).
