ABC Family’s Secret Win
While The CW were still riding their 90210-high yesterday. ABC Family were spinning their numbers, only to find that their own teen series The Secret Life of the American Teenager actually rated higher than the Beverly Hills drama.
The cable network scored its second highest ratings figures ever, beating the first hour of The CW’s 90210 debut, in viewers 12-34 (2.42 million vs. 2.40 million) and females 12-34 (1.92 million vs. 1.71 million).
So step over Beverly Hills kids, it looks like you’re not the only American teenagers on Tuesday nights!

So did it actually rate higher than Beverly Hills overall?
If so that’s a mighty effort for a cable program.
Any idea how Greek went against it Cam? I think it airs after SLOTAT.

Ben, Ive posted the results up on TVAUS in the US Ratings thread.
It didnt beat the postcode in total numbers as 90210 scored around 4.9M and TSLAT scored ~ 3.6M. But it did beat The CW in its core demo.
As for Greek, it averaged 574k in Women 18-34, 679k in Women 18-49 and 923k in Females 12-34.
