On All 4 Wednesdays of the 2007 February Sweep, ABC�s �Lost� Ranks as the Night�s No. 1 Scripted TV Program in the Key Adult 18-49 Sales Demographic

Continuing to Shoot Up from its Lead-in, ABC�s �Lost� Dominates from 10-11pm Across Each of the Key Adult Demos, Defeating CBS� Time Slot Veteran, �C.S.I.: NY�

Jumping from its lead-in by 8.2 million viewers (12.8 million vs. 4.6 million) and by 185% in Adults 18-49 (5.7/15 vs. 2.0/5), �Lost� moved ABC into the dominant No. 1 position at 10:00 p.m. across the key adult demographics. Although CBS enjoyed a decided lead-in advantage coming into the time period from an original �Criminal Minds,� �Lost� surged to defeat time period veteran �C.S.I.: NY� by +75% in Adults 18-34 (5.6/16 vs. 3.2/9), by +33% in Adults 18-49 (5.7/15 vs. 4.3/11) and by+15% in Adults 25-54 (6.0/15 vs. 5.2/13).

� �Lost� grew its Adult 18-34 and Women 18-34 audience for the second straight week, gaining 4% (5.6/16 vs. 5.4/15) and 10% (6.4/16 vs. 5.8/15) week to week, respectively. On both counts, �Lost� generated its best numbers since its premiere telecast in the time period (on 2/7/07).

� �Lost� greatly improved Wednesday�s 10 o�clock hour for ABC during the 2007 February Sweep, offering substantial year-to-year increases as a lead-in to Network affiliates� late-local news.
