black-ish (9:30-10pm - 6.1 million and 1.9/6 in AD18-49): Building on its repeat Modern Family lead-in by 12%, ABC's black-ish ranked #1 in the 9:30pm half-hour for the 3rd straight week in Adults 18-49 (1.9/6-tie). Compared to the year-ago night with an original comedy in the half-hour (3.7 million and 1.2/4 for Mixology on 4/9/14), black-ish continued to deliver sharp year-over-year time-period improvement for ABC among Total Viewers (+65%) and Adults 18-49 (+58%). Despite the repeat lead-in, black-ish held 100% of its Men 18-34 delivery week to week to match its best number since November - since 11/19/14.

Nashville (10-11pm - 4.7 million and 1.1/4 in AD18-49): During the 10pm hour, ABC's Nashville beat out CBS' CSI: Cyber for second place among Adults 18-34 (0.8/3) and key Women (W18-34/W18-49).

Projections Rationale:

Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2014-15 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere).

Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals).

New Series: Based on similar series.

A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 49% in U.S. TV Homes. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which are increasingly not reflected in the overnight Live + Same Day numbers. As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate Nielsen measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.
