CSI topped the highly promoted premiere of "Nashville" in viewers (vs. 8.98m, +18%) and beat ABC at 10:30 PM in adults 18-49 (2.6 vs. 2.5, +4%).

For the night, CBS was first in households (6.7/11) and viewers (10.50m).

Note: DVR penetration is at 46%, up from 42% last season. Last fall, Live+7 audiences for original entertainment series on CBS averaged more than a +1.4 million viewer gain over Live+ Same Day ratings, more than any other network. This season, we expect DVR usage to continue to expand, increasing DVR playback deliveries.
