ABC's new drama, Karen Sisco, has been pulled from the network's Wednesday night programme lineup. It will however not be absent from screens for long - the network said it plans to relaunch the show on a new night in March 2004.

Susan Lyne, ABC Entertainment president, said:

"We love this show, but it has become increasingly obvious that it’s not working on Wednesday nights. Rather than give up, we’re going to complete production on the remaining episodes and aggressively relaunch the series this March in a new time period. We’re hopeful that this course of action will result in the show becoming as popular with viewers as it is with critics and ABC executives."
