ABC grows by +0.7 rating points (+44%) over its Live + Same Day Adult 18-49 rating (1.6 rating in L+SD to a 2.3 in L+7) in the non-sports averages, making the Net the biggest gainer in TV playback this season. Growing to a 2.3 L+7 rating among Adults 18-49 in the non-sports numbers, ABC is the only network up year to year (2.2 for 9/23/13-3/16/14), while CBS (-4%), NBC (-13%) and Fox (-10%) are each declining.
