"Dateline" ranked #1 or tied for #1 in the slot among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-34, women 18-34 and women 18-49. From its first half-hour to its second, "Dateline" grew by 8 percent in adults 18-49 (to a 1.4 rating from a 1.3), 6 percent in adults 25-54 (1.9 vs. 1.8) and 10 percent in total viewers (5.0 million vs. 4.5 million).

In late-night metered-market households Friday night:

* In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.7/6; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.4/6; and ABC's combo of "Nightline," 3.0/7; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 1.5/4.
