Live + 7 Day Ratings for the week of 11/4/13 (Week #7): ABC's regular Wednesday lineup was pre-empted this week for the CMA Awards.

Based on Nielsen's TV playback data among Adults 18-49, ABC shot up to a 2.6 rating among Adults 18-49 in the final Live + 7 numbers, growing 30% over its first reported Live + Same Day rating. In the non-sports numbers, ABC ranks #1 among Adults 18-49 this season (2.80 rating), beating NBC (2.78), CBS (2.78) and Fox (2.35).

ABC claimed 4 of the week's Top 10 biggest playback gainers among Adults 18-49, tied with CBS for the most for any broadcast network: Grey's Anatomy (+1.9 rating points), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (+1.7 rating points), Scandal (+1.6 rating points) and Once Upon a Time (+1.3 rating points). In addition, Scandal was the week's 2nd-biggest gainer for any 10pm series among Adults 18-49, behind NBC's The Blacklist.

Growing to a 2.4 among Adults 18-49 in the final L+7 data, ABC's Revenge nearly doubled its Live+SD rating (+85%) to post its biggest-ever percentage lift. In fact, several of ABC's series scored their largest-ever gains this week in the young adult demo: The Goldbergs (+60% -- hitting a series-high lift for the 2nd week in a row), S.H.I.E.L.D. (+68%), The Neighbors (+40%), Once Upon a Time (+62%) and Trophy Wife (+46%).

ABC's red-hot Scandal hit a new high in TV playback among Total Viewers, scoring the show's largest-ever increase in L+7 this week with growth of +4.2 million viewers over its L+SD tally.

ABC saw 6 of its 8 dramas grow by more than +2.5 million viewers this week over their initially reported totals via TV Playback: Scandal (+4.2 million), Castle (+4.1 million), Grey's Anatomy (+4.1 million), S.H.I.E.L.D. (+3.8 million - series high), Revenge (+2.8 million) and Once Upon a Time (+2.7 million). In addition, ABC's Shark Tank delivered a season-high build in TV playback this week in Total Viewers (+1.6 million).

In the final Live + 7 Day ratings, ABC delivered 3 of the week's Top 10 highest-rated broadcast shows in Adults 18-49 (versus 1 in the initial Live+SD ratings): Grey's Anatomy (4.6) - #5 (up from #11), Scandal (4.4) - #7 (up from #10) and S.H.I.E.L.D. (4.2) - #10 (up from #15).

· ABC's S.H.I.E.L.D. moved ahead of NCIS in the final L+7 ratings to beat the CBS drama by 8% among Adults 18-49 (4.2 vs. 3.9). Initially in the Live + Same Day ratings, the ABC drama was 4-tenths of a rating point behind NCIS.
