girls and teen girls in the US.* It can also be seen in France - on Canal J
- as well as in Belgium, Italy and Great Britain. In the US, the series is
closely followed by viewers between 2 and 17, and is the number-one ranked
show among teens in its timeslot.** It tells the story of Sabrina, who
finds out she is a witch on her 16th birthday and gradually learns to live
with her magic powers.
