Paul Lee, president, ABC Entertainment Group, will discuss ABC's plans for next season and present the network's 2011-12 fall schedule before the advertising and media communities this afternoon at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.

"America's Funniest Home Videos," "The Bachelor," "Body of Proof," "Dancing with the Stars," "Desperate Housewives," "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," "Happy Endings," "Secret Millionaire," "Shark Tank" and "20/20" join previously announced returning series "Castle," "Cougar Town," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Middle," "Modern Family" and "Private Practice." "Saturday Night College Football" also returns.

"We're thrilled to be launching a really diverse and ambitious schedule that balances the strength and stability of our returning hits with a slew of bold new shows," said Lee.

For the 2010-11 TV season, ABC Television Network claims five of the Top 20 highest-rated TV series in Adults 18-49 with "Dancing with the Stars," "Modern Family," "Grey's Anatomy," "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show" and "Desperate Housewives," including the No. 1 comedy and the No. 1 drama. In addition, the network delivers the most-watched freshman series overall with "Body of Proof." For the sixth straight season, the ABC Television Network remains a key destination for upscale viewers, airing seven of the Top 20 highest-rated television series (the most for any network) among Adults 18-49 in homes w/$100k+ annual income.
