ABC'S WEDNESDAY LINEUP LOSING STEAM

ABC's new Wednesday-night programs, which started off promisingly, appear to be running out of steam. Modern Family, which debuted with 12.60 million viewers three weeks ago, was down 33 percent to 8.46 million viewers this week. Cougar Town, which attracted 11.28 million for its premiere three weeks ago, was down 31 percent to 7.80 million. And Eastwick, which started out with 8.50 million viewers on Sept. 23 fell 38 percent to 5.28 million, putting it in danger of cancellation.
