� The Net marked its highest Adults 18-49 and A18-34 ratings in 9 weeks � since the w/o 12/3/07.

Rankings: ABC aired 5 of the week's Top 20 TV programs in Adults 18-49, including 3 of the Top 10: "Lost" � No. 5, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" � No. 7, "20/20 SP Edition-2/4" � No. 10, "Eli Stone" � No. 15 and "Brothers & Sisters" � No. 18 . ABC's "Home Edition" (No. 6) and "Lost" (No. 7) placed among the Top 10 most-watched shows during the week. ABC News' "Special Edition of 20/20: The Final Hours of Natalee Holloway" ranked as TV's No. 1 newsmagazine of the week in key adults (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54), generating "20/20's" strongest performance in more than 1 year.

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating trends based on the Live + Same Day data stream may be somewhat distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has nearly doubled from nearly 13% at the same point in 2006, up to more than 22% currently. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.
