ABC considering a big Sunday night move

LOS ANGELES, April 13 (UPI) -- ABC executives are considering moving "Grey's Anatomy" or "Desperate Housewives" off Sunday night to "spread the wealth" of ratings.

The hit shows, along with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," average more than 20 million viewers a week and moving one of them to a different night would give ABC a boost where it is needed, the New York Post noted Thursday.

"We have three big shows on Sunday, so there will be pressure to spread the wealth," ABC Entertainment's Jeff Bader told The Hollywood Reporter.

The Post speculated "Grey's Anatomy" or "Desperate Housewives" could end up on Monday nights in the fall to fill the void left by "Monday Night Football."

As for Sunday nights, Bader said three comedies are under consideration to fill the gap: "Men in Trees," "Brothers & Sisters" and "Women in Law."
