These shows are great additions to our network and continue ABC's creative and ratings momentum. I applaud all the tremendous work that has gone into making both of these series.
In terms of creative, (the opening on Monday) gives us greater platform to go out there and develop. In terms of profitability, our strength there would be excessively increased given the absence of football.
The producers are preparing a great episode that will appeal to new viewers as well as devoted fans. It's the perfect conclusion to one of TV's biggest days.
