'DATELINE" IS THE #1 SHOW OF THE NIGHT IN TOTAL VIEWERS

DELIVERING ITS MOST-WATCHED THURSDAY TELECAST THIS SEASON, 'DATELINE' REPORTS NBC'S BEST TOTAL-VIEWER RESULT IN THE TIME PERIOD IN SIX MONTHS AND TIES A SIX-MONTH HIGH IN 18-49

DESPITE FACING MULTIPLE DRAMA PREMIERES, 'AQUARIUS' AND 'HANNIBAL' RETAIN 97% AND 94% RESPECTIVELY OF THEIR TOTAL-VIEWER RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK AND ARE WITHIN 0.1 IN 18-49

Thursday Primetime Results:

· "Dateline NBC" (1.3/5 in 18-49, 6.9 million viewers overall from 8-9 p.m. ET) ranked #1 for the night on the Big 4 networks in total viewers, as it hit a season high for a Thursday telecast in total viewers and matched a season high in 18-49.

· "Dateline NBC" generated NBC's best total-viewer result in the slot in six months, since "Peter Pan Live!" (Dec. 4, 2014, 2.7 in 18-49, 11.2 million viewers overall in the 8-9 p.m. hour) and tied NBC's high since "Peter Pan" in adult 18-49 rating.

· Opposite CBS's Thursday debut of "Big Brother" and Fox's series premiere of "Boom," "Dateline NBC" tied for the #2 rating of the night on the Big 4 in adults 18-49, behind only CBS's "Brother" debut.

And note that "Aquarius," which had been available for binge viewing online for the past four weeks, is currently close to rounding up to last week's 0.7 rating in 18-49 (reporting a 0.64 in these prelim fast-affiliate Nielsens).

· Despite the 10 p.m. hour, "Hannibal" maintained its rating half-hour to half-hour in adults 18-49 (0.4 vs. 0.4), adults 25-54 (0.6 vs. 0.6) and nearly all other key demos.

· "Hannibal" will add significant viewership via time-shifting -- "Hannibal" is increasing by +49% in 18-49 rating (from a 0.67 to a 1.00) and 987,000 viewers overall (2.6 million to 3.6 million) going from L+SD to L+7.
