Upscale: The prior week's "Aquarius" was the #2 most upscale Big 4 program of the night among adults 18-49 living in homes with $100K+ incomes (115 index) and with four or more years of college (102 index), behind only "Hannibal."

· "Hannibal" (0.3/1 in 18-49, 1.1 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET) maintained its adult 18-49 rating of the prior three weeks and is currently up +5% week to week in total viewers (1.074 million vs. 1.024 million), making this its most-watched episode among four Saturday telecasts to date.

· "Hannibal" will grow substantially via time-shifting -- the previous week's "Hannibal" increased by +50% going from L+SD to L+3 (0.30 to 0.45) and by 407,000 viewers overall (1.0 million to 1.4 million). Upscale: The prior week's "Hannibal" was the top upscale Big 4 program of the night among adults 18-49 living in homes with $100K+ incomes (122 index) and with four or more years of college (121 index).

In Late-Night Metered-Market Household Averages for Saturday Night:

· An encore telecast of "Saturday Night Live," with host Jim Carrey and musical guest Iggy Azalea, averaged a 2.2 rating, 6 share in household results in Nielsen's 56 metered markets and a 0.8/4 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters, matching the show's results for the prior two weeks in both measures.

· "SNL" was the #1 program of the night on the Big 4 networks in 18-49 in the Local People Meters, beating all the night's primetime programming on those networks.

· Note that "SNL" adds significant viewership via time-shifting, with originals this season growing by an average of +44% going from "live plus same day ratings" to "live plus seven day" in adults 18-49 (from a 1.84 rating to a 2.65).
