In the 10:00 p.m. hour, the ABC special "Madoff: After the Fall" built on its lead-in with key Adults and won its hour over CBS' "Elementary" and NBC's "Shades of Blue" in Total Viewers (6.7 million), Adults 25-54 (1.7/5) and Adults 18-49 (1.2/4).

Projections Rationale:

Lifts vs. L+SD are based on 2015-16 season averages 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 48% 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.
