"Switched at Birth" ASL Episode Draws Big Ratings
by Hillary Busis
Mar 5 2013

Viewers didn’t adjust their TV sets when they discovered that "Switched at Birth" was being performed entirely in American Sign Language last night. Instead, they turned out in droves — making the ABC Family show the night’s biggest scripted cable telecast among women aged 12 through 34.

"Switched" also scored a few timeslot victories, earning a .8 rating among adults 18-34 that made it the night’s most-watched scripted cable program at 8 p.m.

Sounds like a victory to us.
