WEEK No. 10:

On a week that spanned the final 3 nights of the 2007 November Sweep and the opening nights of December, ABC ranked No. 1 in both Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. The Net defeated its nearest competitors during the week by 1.9 million viewers (12.5 million vs. 10.6 million � CBS) and by 29% in Adults 18-49 (4.0/10 vs. 3.1/8 � Fox), representing the biggest margin of victory for any network this season in the key young adult sales demographic. In viewers and young adults, the Net led 5 of 7 nights during the week. In addition, ABC ranked No. 1 in Adults 18-49 for the 7th of the 10 weeks so far this season.

� In Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, ABC marked its strongest week of the season. In fact excluding the week of the 2007 "Academy Awards" telecast (w/o 2/19/07), the Net produced its largest weekly audience and highest Adult 18-49 rating in more than 1 year � since the week of 11/13/06. The Net was up by 2.4 million viewers and by 14% in Adults 18-49 from the comparable year-ago week (w/o 11/27/06 = 10.1 million and 3.5/9).

� For the 3rd consecutive November Sweep, ABC ranked No. 1 in the key Adult 18-49 sales demo (3.8/10), defeating second-place CBS for the month by 9% (3.5/9), third-place NBC by 15% (3.3/9) and fourth-place Fox by 23% (3.1/8). Making this year's November victory even more impressive was the fact that ABC did not air "Lost" on its schedule this fall, as it had in previous years.

Rankings: ABC claimed 8 of the Top 15 TV programs of the week in Adults 18-49, including 5 of the Top 6 shows: "Desperate Housewives" � No. 1, "Shrek the Halls" � No. 2, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" � No. 4, "DWTS the Results-TU" � No. 5, "Dancing with the Stars-MON" � No. 6, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" � No. 11, "Brothers & Sisters" � No. 12 and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" � No. 13.

In addition to ranking as one of the top shows during the week, ABC's debut airing of "Shrek the Halls" on Wednesday represented TV's most-watched animated holiday special since 1995 and the top-rated among Adults 18-49 since 1990.

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year to year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating trends based on the Live + Same Day data stream may be somewhat distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped from over 11% during the same point in 2006 up to more than 21% currently. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. Therefore, the only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.
