In the 2002-03 season, the ABC Kids line-up maintained a steady performance among young children, climbing five percent among children 6-11 and six percent among “tweens” 9-14 compared to the preceding season. In key girl and “tween” demographics, Lizzie McGuire was ABC’s top-ranked show, while The Proud Family and Kim Possible led their respective time periods. For the past two seasons, ABC Kids has served as a showcase for the best programs from The Walt Disney Company’s various children’s programming platforms. This strategy has brought new viewers to ABC while simultaneously exposing new Disney series to a wider audience.
