ABC qualified as the most watched network on Monday for the 2nd week in a row (7.9 million) and ran a strong 2nd in Adults 18-49 (1.3/5) to "The Voice"-led NBC. ABC also won Monday by double digits over NBC in Adults 18-34 (+13%) and Women 18-34 (+20%).

DANCING WITH THE STARS stood as Monday's No. 1 most watched TV show overall (10.3 million) and beat out NBC's "The Voice" as the night's highest-rated show in Adults 18-34 for the first time this season. The ABC unscripted series also won the night with Women 18-34. From 8:00-10:00 p.m., ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" stood as Monday's most watched TV series for the 6th week in a row, drawing 1.0 million more viewers than NBC's "The Voice" to the 2-hour slot (10.3 million vs. 9.3 million).

"Dancing" paced within 1-tenth of the prior week's Disney Night Fast Affiliate Adults 18-49 rating (1.6/6 vs. 1.7/6), which tied a best-since-premiere number.

"Quantico" (10:00-11:00 p.m. - 2.9 million and 0.6/2 in AD18-49):
At 10:00 p.m., ABC's "Quantico" held even with its week-earlier Fast Affiliate Adults 18-49 rating and grew 20% over its National rating (0.6/2 vs. 0.5/2).

L+3 for Last Week's "Quantico" Telecast (4/17/17): Last week's telecast of "Quantico" spiked +80% in Adults 18-49 after just 3 days of TV Playback (0.5 rating to 0.9 rating), making it last Monday's top broadcast gainer from L+SD to L+3. In overall L+7, "Quantico" is the season's No. 3 biggest gainer in TV playback to only ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Designated Survivor" among the broadcasters in Adults 18-49, shooting up by +114% over its L+SD average.

Projections Rationale: Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2016-17 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.
