NBC Universal Nets Deliver Growth Among Key Demos for a Fourth Straight Year

BURBANK, Calif. - December 20, 2007 - The NBC Universal Entertainment Cable Networks, USA Network, SCI FI Channel and Bravo, have all delivered record-breaking ratings results in 2007, making NBC Universal Cable the number one entertainment cable group in average primetime viewership among key demos (excluding Oxygen which was acquired by the group in late November 2007). The NBC Universal Entertainment Cable Group set the pace in 2007, averaging 712,000 adults 18-49 and 736,000 adults 25-54 in primetime through December 9 to top all other cable entertainment groups*. The announcement was made by Jeff Gaspin, President and Chief Operating Officer, Universal Television Group.

"NBC Universal Cable has some of the strongest brands in television and we are experiencing great momentum," said Gaspin. "Whether it's USA essentially being the fifth broadcast network, SCI FI's record-breaking mini-series or Bravo's growing upscale audience, we are providing advertisers with more and more opportunities to reach consumers through first-rate content."

The NBCU Entertainment Cable Group generated increases versus its 2006 results, growing by +5.4% among P18-49 and increasing by +4.2% among P25-54 in primetime. The group has now delivered year-to-year 18-49 and 25-54 gains during all four years since the NBC/Universal merger created the group in 2004.

During its three-night primetime run (December 2-4 at 9-11pm), "Tin Man" averaged a 3.6 HH rating/3.4 million HHs, delivering 5.3 million total viewers (P2+), more than 2.9 million viewers P25-54 and 2.7 million viewers P18-49.
