"Viewers are now more able to discover new programs, catch up on missed episodes of these programs, and never miss an episode of their favorite programs," said David Poltrack, Chief Research Officer, CBS Corporation, President, CBS VISION.

"As we saw last season with ELEMENTARY, the combination of DVR playback, VOD and streaming has allowed the most popular new and continuing broadcast network programs to continually add to their base of viewers throughout the year. This season we already are seeing a substantially greater use of time-shifting by viewers to expand their viewing horizons, leading to larger overall audiences for the most popular programs, including both the established hits and the hot newcomers," said Poltrack.
