From 8:00-10:00 p.m., ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" finished as Monday's most watched TV show for the 2nd week in a row over NBC's "The Voice" (+5% - 11.8 million vs. 11.2 million) and ranked as the No. 2 show for the night in Adults 18-49 (1.7/6 - tied w/CBS' "Supergirl"/"Flash" crossover), behind only NBC's "The Voice." "DWTS" held steady with its week-earlier season premiere in Adults 18-49 (1.7/6 vs. 1.8/6) and grew among Teens 12-17 (+14%).

"The Catch" (10:00-11:00 p.m. - 4.3 million and 0.7/2 in AD18-49):

During the 10:00 p.m. hour, a repeat of "The Catch" pilot drew an additional 4.3 million viewers and a 0.7/2 in Adults 18-49.

· Live + 3/Linear Viewing for "The Catch" Pilot: Based on the just released L+3 data for last Thursday (3/24/16), "The Catch" pilot added another 2.6 million viewers (5.846 million to 8.459 million) and surged 58% in Adults 18-49 (1.2 rating to 1.9 rating) over its L+SD numbers. In fact including last night's rebroadcast, L+3 and L+SD, "The Catch" pilot has been watched on the linear network by a combined 12.8 million viewers and delivered a 2.6 rating in Adults 18-49.

Projections Rationale:

Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2015-16 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 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 measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.
