The Net's key new series improved their time slots by wide margins for ABC November to November in the key young adult sales demo: "Last Man Standing" (+50%), "Suburgatory" (+25%), "Revenge" (+75%) and "Once Upon a Time" (+73%). In addition, ABC sophomores "Body of Proof" and "Happy Endings," both of which came in midseason, improved their time periods by 18% and 10%, respectively.

· 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 grew year to year during the November Sweep by 5% in Total Viewers, attracting its largest audience in the hour in 2 years - since 2009.
