� Despite facing Olympic competition, ABC posted a 6-week-high on Friday night with Adults 18-34.

In fact as it built audience in the 9 o'clock hour, ABC's replay movie beat out Fox's original Kitchen Nightmares by 2.7 million viewers (5.4 million vs. 2.7 million) and by 64% in Adults 18-49 (1.8/5 vs. 1.1/3).

� With the rebroadcast movie scheduled against the Olympics, ABC pulled in its top non-sports numbers in the 2-hour time period since November with viewers and young adults � since 11/20/09.

Growing the 10 o'clock hour week-to-week for the Net, ABC News' 20/20 finished as the #1 non-sports program in its time period with key Adults (AD18-49/AD25-54).

� Opposite the Olympics, 20/20 boosted Friday's 10pm hour week-to-week by 1.2 million viewers (4.6 million vs. 3.4 million), by 18% in Adults 18-49 (1.3/4 vs. 1.1/3) and by 31% in Adults 25-54 (1.7/5 vs. 1.3/3).
