NBC News' TODAY was the number-one morning show topping ABC's "Good Morning America" once again in the key demo A25-54. TODAY has now won 77 straight weeks in the key demo (93 of the last 94 weeks), its best streak in more than four years. TODAY more than doubled its A25-54 lead over GMA, an increase of 157% (+236,000 vs. +92,000) versus the same week last year.

For the third straight week, GMA posted an all-time key demo low. TODAY's A25-54 and A18-49 wins over GMA have reached five-year highs, and TODAY has cut the total viewer gap with GMA by 20% season to date (-186,000 vs. -233,000 last season).

TODAY HIGHLIGHTS:
