Braun, Lyne out at ABC

An ongoing reorganisation at the top of American TV network ABC resulted on Tuesday in the departure of chairman Lloyd Braun and entertainment chief Susan Lyne.

The Disney-owned network has come in for criticism in recent times due to a lack of strong shows on the network - The Practice ends this season - and its current fourth place in terms of ratings for the all-important 18-49 demographic.

Anne Sweeney will now be in charge of ABC as part of her role alongside ESPN's George Bodenheimer at the top of Disney's Media Networks unit.
