WEEK No. 6:

During the week of October 26, 2009, which included the first 4 nights of the November Sweep, ABC finished No. 2 to a sports-fueled Fox (w/Games 1-4 of the World Series and a big Sunday NFL Vikings-Packers overrun) across each of the key Adult demographics: AD18-34 (2.2/7), AD18-49 (2.7/8) and AD25-54 (3.3/8). In Adults 18-49, ABC (2.7/8) topped third-place CBS by 17% (2.3/6) and fourth-place NBC by 42% (1.9/5). The Net beat its broadcast competition on Monday and finished as the No. 1 non-sports network on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. In fact season to date excluding sports, ABC stands as the No. 1 TV network among Adults 18-49 (3.2/9 � tied w/Fox), leading CBS by 3% (3.1/8) and NBC by 45% (2.2/6).

� ABC grew its overall audience for the 3rd straight week, registering its strongest performance in 4 weeks in Total Viewers (9.5 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.7/8) � since w/o 9/28/09.

� Opposite "Leno," ABC's scripted series are up in the 10:00 p.m. hour year to year. On average through 6 weeks this season (Most Current), ABC is up in the 10 o'clock hour with its scripted series programming against "Leno" by +16% in the key Adult 18-49 sales demo (2.9/8 vs. 2.5/7), over its Monday-Thursday performance last year at this point with scripted programming. The Net is up or even on all 4 nights where it programs scripted series in the 10:00 p.m. hour opposite "Leno": Monday - "Castle" +13%, Tuesday - "the forgotten" +10% and Thursday - "Private Practice" +47%, while on Wednesday "Eastwick" is holding even year to year. In fact on advertiser-coveted Thursday night, ABC's "Private Practice" stands as TV's No. 1 10 o'clock series on any network this season.

Rankings: ABC claimed 7 of the week's Top 20 shows in Adults 18-49, including TV's Top 2 scripted programs with "Grey's Anatomy" (top for 5th time in 6 weeks) and "Desperate Housewives": "Grey's Anatomy" � No. 6, "Desperate Housewives" � No. 8, "Modern Family" � No. 12, "Dancing with the Stars" and "Private Practice" tied at No. 15 and "Home Edition" and "Brothers & Sisters" tied at No. 20.

"DWTS" stood as the most-watched non-sports program of the week. ABC once again delivered the Top 2 TV shows for the week across all key Women demos (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54) with "Grey's" and "Housewives." ABC aired TV's Top 4 freshman series during the week with Adults 18-49, with "Modern Family," "Cougar Town," "FlashForward" and "The Middle," respectively.

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 33% currently, from 28% at the same point in 2008. 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.

Monday

Matching its largest audience of the night in over 5 months (since 5/11/09), ABC stood as TV's most-watched network (15.0 million) on Monday for the 3rd straight week, beating CBS by 5.3 million viewers (9.7 million), Fox by 8.9 million viewers (6.1 million) and NBC by 9.6 million viewers (5.4 million).
