Excluding sports to level the playing field for the NFL and MLB-boosted averages, ABC ranked No. 1 for the 2016 November Sweep in Adults 18-49 (1.4/5-tied w/NBC), leading CBS by 8% (1.3/4) and FOX by 40% (1.0/4).

Highest-Rated TV Series in November: ABC claimed 8 of the Top 20 entertainment broadcast series during November in Adults 18-49, the most for any net: "Modern Family" (2.3/8) - No. 4, "Grey's Anatomy" (2.1/8) - No. 6, "The Goldbergs" (1.9/7) - No. 7, "Speechless" (1.7/6) - No. 12, "Dancing with the Stars" (1.6/5) - No. 15, while "The Middle" (1.5/6), "American Housewife" (1.5/5) and "black-ish" (1.5/5) tied at No. 16.

In fact, ABC's "Speechless" tied CBS' "The Big Bang Theory"-led "The Great Outdoors" as November's No. 1 new comedy, while ABC's "American Housewife" tied CBS' "Kevin Can Wait" as the No. 3 freshman comedy for the month. ABC's "DWTS" was TV's most watched unscripted series for the 4th consecutive November, outdrawing both editions of NBC's "The Voice."
