 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 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 measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.
