"American Horror Story" Series Premiere Ratings Grow More Impressive with Live+3 Data

American Horror Story posted outstanding ratings for its series debut (10/5/11 - 10-11:10PM). Those numbers are even more impressive with the inclusion of Live+3 ratings data made available today. American Horror Story ranks as the most-watched original series premiere in FX history in Adults 18-34, Women 18-49 and Women 18-34, and ranks #2 all-time in delivery of Adults 18-49. Note that Live +7 data for the series premiere of AHS won't be available for another two weeks (Mon. Oct. 24th) and it's likely that AHS will tie or surpass The Shield for the #1 spot in Adults 18-49.

· AHS's current lift from Live+Same Day to Live+3 in A18-49 is +40% (2.0 million to 2.8 million)

· AHS's added 1.0 million Total Viewers from Live+Same Day to Live+3 (3.2 million to 4.2 million)
