In fact, "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" delivered the largest year-to-year gains of any top-tier talk show in all three Nielsen measures.

During the just completed 2012-13 broadcast season, "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" finished as the No. 2 syndicated talk show in Households (2.6 rating) and Total Viewers (3.408 million), leading "Ellen" (2.5 rating and 3.346 million) in both Nielsen measures despite "LIVE's" early time periods with lower overall TV usage levels.
