ABC Dominates Fall Season With Top 3 Shows in Adults 18-49 in Cross-Platform Broadcast Series Rankings

Stellar Streaming Viewership Drives 'High Potential,' 'Abbott Elementary' and '9-1-1' to Top Spots Among Competitive Multiplatform Rankings

Freshman Drama 'High Potential' Scores Highest Overall Streaming Audience of Any Fall Broadcast Series

· Combining Nielsen data for both linear (Live+7) and streaming (seven-day viewing based on Streaming Content Ratings) with newly available data, ABC owned the top three broadcast series this fall among Adults 18-49, including freshman hit "High Potential" (No 1 - 2.33 rating), award-winning comedy "Abbott Elementary" (No. 2 - 2.15 rating) and popular first-responder drama "9-1-1" (No. 3 - 1.85 rating).

· Overall, ABC claimed six of the Top 15 spots among Adults 18-49 in cross-platform broadcast series rankings including "High Potential" (No. 1 - 2.33 rating), "Abbott Elementary" (No. 2 - 2.15 rating) and "9-1-1" (No. 3 - 1.85 rating), along with "Grey's Anatomy" (No. 6 - 1.34 rating), "Doctor Odyssey" (No. 13 - 1.13 rating) and "Dancing with the Stars" (No. 15 - 1.05 rating).

· Driven by impressive streaming viewership on Hulu and Disney+, the shows jumped dramatically over their seven-day linear averages by triple digits, including "High Potential" (+309% - 2.33 rating vs. 0.57 rating), "Abbott Elementary" (+291% - 2.15 rating vs. 0.55 rating), "9-1-1" (+180% - 1.85 rating vs. 0.66 rating), "Grey's Anatomy" (+153% - 1.34 rating vs. 0.53 rating), "Doctor Odyssey" (+135% - 1.13 rating vs. 0.48 rating) and "Dancing with the Stars" (+33% - 1.05 s. 0.79 %).

· Underscoring the importance of comprehensive audience measurement and the remarkable contrast between multiplatform performance versus linear only, among the top three shows, "High Potential" jumps to the No. 1 spot (from No. 12 in Live+7 data); while "Abbott Elementary" catapults to the No. 2 spot (from No. 17), and "9-1-1" moves into the No. 3 spot (from No. 6), among Adults 18-49.

· In fact, "High Potential" averaged the highest streaming delivery (4.30 million) of any fall broadcast series - over 1 million viewers ahead of its closest competition, CBS' "Matlock" (3.26 million).
