ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME Grows by Double Digits to Its Best Results Since November
uilding on its young-adult lead-in at 8:00 p.m. against the start of NBC's SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL and an NFL overrun-boosted CBS, ABC's "Once Upon a Time" grew week to week by 24% in Total Viewers (4.6 million vs. 3.7 million) and 18% in Adults 18-49 (1.3/4 vs. 1.1/4), drawing its biggest audience and tying its best young-adult number since last November - since 11/15/15.
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.
