"SNL" EQUALS ITS HIGHEST METERED-MARKET RATING OUTSIDE THE TRADITONAL SEPT-TO-MAY SEASON SINCE 2013

NBC TIES FOR THE PRIMETIME WIN AMONG THE BIG 4 IN 18-49 AND "DATELINE MYSTERY" TIES AS THE NIGHT'S #1 PRIMETIME TELECAST AMONG THOSE NETS

· The June 4 "SNL" is up +12% versus the show's June 2015 average in metered-market households (2.8 vs 2.5 for June 2015) and up +10% versus June 2015 in 18-49 in the local people meters (1.1 vs. 1.0).

· Note that "SNL" adds significant viewership via time-shifting, with originals growing by +49% going from L+SD to L+7 in adults 18-49 (1.84 to 2.74) and +2.102 million persons in total viewers (6.111 million to 8.213 million).

Saturday Primetime Ratings:

"Dateline Saturday Night Mystery" (0.6/3 in 18-49, 3.4 million viewers overall from 8-10 p.m. ET):

· Wins the time period among the Big 4 in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and total viewers and ranks #1 or tied for #1 among those nets in every other key measure (pending updates).

· Ties as the #1 primetime show of the night on the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49 (0.6 each for "Dateline Mystery" and CBS's "48 Hours" from 10-11 p.m. ET).

· Returning with its first telecast in three weeks, matches its prior rating in adults 18-49 (0.6 vs. 0.6 on May 14) and adults 25-54 (0.9 vs. 0.9).

· Grows steadily throughout its two-hour telecast, increasing by +75% from its first half-hour to its fourth in 18-49 (0.4 to 0.7) and +47% or 1.3 million persons in total viewers (2.7 million to 4.0 million).

A rebroadcast of "Maya & Marty" (0.5/2 in 18-49, 2.1 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET):

· Ranks #2 in the hour among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49 and total viewers.
