Programming Notes
Science renewed Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman for 10 episodes, set to return next Summer.
Despite broadcasting from London during the week of July 23-30, The Today Show lost by 12,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo to Good Morning America. It was GMA's first weekly win in the demo in 17 years. Today will win this and next week because it has exclusive Olympic video.
ABC will air a Fall Preview show on Sunday, September 2, at 7pm, hosted by The Chew people.
