The Nov. 4 "Blacklist" also generated the show's best-ever L+SD to L+7 lift in 18-49, growing by 2.29 rating points to a 5.15 from a 2.86, an 80% gain.

· L+3: The prior telecast of "The Blacklist" on Nov. 11 generated the second biggest "live plus three day" increase in U.S. television history in total viewership, growing by 5.227 million persons (from 10.688 million viewers in "live plus same day" to 15.915 million in L+3). The only bigger increase in history came from the Nov. 4 "Blacklist," which grew by 5.427 million (from 10.337 million to 15.764 million). The 15.915 million for the Nov. 11 telecast was the biggest "Blacklist" audience in L+3 in six weeks(since Sept. 30, 16.443 million). In L+3, "Blacklist" has been up week-to-week in total viewers for each of its last four telecasts.

· "The Blacklist: has delivered the five largest total-viewer L+3 increases ever, including the only three telecasts to gain more than 5 million viewers in L+3.

· In adults 18-49, the Nov. 11 "Blacklist" delivered the show's second biggest L+3 gain to date on both a percentage basis and by rating point, adding b61% or 1.80 rating points to its next-day "live plus same day" 18-49 rating (to a 4.76 in L+3 from a 2.96 in L+SD), trailing only the increases of the prior week (+68%, +1.95 rating points).
