ABC INSISTS IT'S BETTER THAN NBC

ABC wants credit for C+7 numbers, saying it's tied with NBC for 3rd place with a 2.5 average in the 18-49 demo for the 2011-2012 TV season. "Factoring out all sports programming from the season averages, ABC’s [C+7} advantage over NBC jumped to 25% (2.5/7 vs. 2.0/6)."
