After ABC deemed the backdoor pilot episode of Black-ish too geared toward a younger audience, the spinoff was moved to Freeform.
It’s not every spinoff that ends up airing on a separate network from the parent show, but it makes sense in this case.
Freeform — formerly known as ABC Family — is owned by Disney-ABC.
Although it will likely reach a smaller audience on Freeform than it would on ABC, College-ish is probably more likely to last on Freeform than it would be in the competitive primetime market on ABC.
