ABC's QUANTICO Ranks No. 1 in Time Slot in Adults 18-34 by 50% Over NBC's 'Timeless'

By: Jan. 31, 2017

ABC dominated Monday by 50% over runner-up FOX in Adults 18-49 (1.8/6 vs. 1.2/4), qualifying as the entertainment leader on the night for the 6th consecutive week. ABC's "The Bachelor" finished as Monday's No. 1 TV series for the 5th week in a row with Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and across all key Women.

"The Bachelor" (8:00-10:00 p.m. - 7.2 million and 2.3/8 in AD18-49): Taking first place in each half-hour from 8:00-10:00 p.m. with young adults, ABC's "The Bachelor" defeated NBC's "New Celebrity Apprentice" by best-yet margins in the 2-hour slot of 95% in Total Viewers (7.2 million vs. 3.7 million) and 130% in Adults 18-49 (2.3/8 vs. 1.0/3).

"The Bachelor" remained steady week to week in Adults 18-49 (2.3/8 vs. 2.4/8), coming within 1-tenth of the prior week's season high. In the Live + 3 Day Adult 18-49 ratings, "The Bachelor" has topped its year-ago delivery on all 4 of its telecasts this season.

"Quantico" (10:00-11:00 p.m. - 2.8 million and 0.8/3 in AD18-49): At 10:00 p.m., ABC's "Quantico" held steady with its week-earlier Monday premiere among Adults 18-49 (0.8/3 vs. 0.8/3 National and 0.9/3 Fast Affiliate). The ABC drama ranked No. 1 in the hour with Adults 18-34, defeating NBC's "Timeless" by 50%. In the Live + 3 Day numbers, last week's Monday premiere of "Quantico" spiked +75% over its L+SD Adult 18-49 rating (0.8 rating to 1.4 rating) and added another 1.6 million viewers after 3 days of TV playback (2.9 million to 4.5 million).

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.
