Tuesday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)

ABC placed second on Tuesday in Adults 18-49 (2.0/6), topping Fox by 33% (1.5/5) and CBS by 54% (1.3/4).

· Improving on the night for the 9th straight week, ABC grew solidly over the year-ago Tuesday (9/8/09) in Total Viewers (+36% - 5.7 million vs. 4.2 million) and Adults 18-49 (+25% - 2.0/6 vs. 1.6/4). The Net has been up year to year on Tuesday evening on 14 of the last 15 weeks.

"Wipeout" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

A repeat telecast of ABC's "Wipeout" delivered the Net's strongest performance in the 9 o'clock hour in Total Viewers (5.6 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.2/6) in 6 weeks � since 7/27/10.

· "Wipeout" turned in its second-best numbers ever for a repeat telecast in Adults 18-49 (2.2/6) and Adults 18-34 (1.9/6).

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 37% currently, from 32% at the same point in 2009. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. 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.
