First, ABC Family would've put out a lengthy press release about how much butt they kicked in the ratings. Second, it would've been the #3 show on cable that week, and even if ABC Family's PR people were asleep at the wheel, that would've come out. Lincoln Heights has grown in the ratings each season. Until now, though, Greek has also grown in the ratings each (half-)season, and has been slightly higher rated than Lincoln Heights. So far as I know, all of ABC Family's series trend female. Back when ABC Family praised Kyle XY's ratings, roughly two-thirds of the 12-34 year olds watching were female. Ditto for Greek and Lincoln Heights. Secret Life skews even more female--something like more than 80 percent--but ABC Family definitely excels with females in a way it simply doesn't with males.

I don't watch it, but every episode averaged over 1.1 million viewers last year IIRC. That built over its previous two seasons. ABC Family also has its new show "10 Things I Hate About You" coming this summer/fall. (Yes, its based on the movie) To me, it seems like ABC Family is turning more towards females now.

On the other hand, sitcoms Roommates and Sophie have bombed. And last Monday, Greek's premiere was seen by less than a million viewers, making it the lowest premiere the show's ever had. (Though if it followed its previous ratings pattern, 80 percent of Greek's viewers were in the 12-34 range, compared to, say, 40 percent for Kyle XY.) And Another Cinderella Story did very well, though ABC Family has certainly had plenty of movies do badly; I assume Au Pair 3 bombed last month, for instance. All this stuff is true.
