ABC Announces Fall Premier Schedule

ABC has just announced nearly all of its primetime shows will debut dates for the next few months. They want to get the word out to potential advertisers, and plan to use the dates in summer marketing campaigns to promote the shows.

A couple shows like “Brothers & Sisters,” “Eastwick” and “Private Practice” are not listed yet, but they will find a home on the station soon. One thing is for sure… at least we can all take a sigh of relief now that we know when Supernanny is coming back.
