The Jan. 20 telecast of "The Blacklist" has set a new all-time record for biggest "live plus three-day" increase on U.S. broadcast or cable television, growing by 5.430 million viewers versus that night's "live plus same day" result from Nielsen Media Research (to 14.262 million vs. 8.832 million).

On a percentage basis, that's an increase of 61%, the show's biggest percentage increase in total viewers to date.
