P18-49 +61% (236k vs. 147k)

W18-49 +61% (143k vs. 89k)

The celebration doesn't stop as the 10p series debut of Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets (Mon, Jan 10) is the network's highest rated telecast ever with a 1.61 HH rating and 1.46M P2+, ranking #7 in P25-54 and #6 in W25-54 delivery for ad-supported cable in the 10-11p hour.
