"You, Me and the Apocalypse" (0.6/2 in 18-49, 2.7 million viewers overall from 8-9 p.m. ET):

· Equaled its top rating since Feb. 11 in 18-49 (0.8)

· Delivers its #2 biggest audience in six weeks (second-best since Feb. 11, 2.967 million, trailing over that span only last week's 2.762 million)).

· Will add substantial viewership via time-shifting and alternate platforms -- "Apocalypse" has increased by +30% this season in 18-49 rating (from a 0.77 to a 1.00) and 766,000 viewers overall (3.2 million to 3.9 million) going from L+SD to L+7..

· Upscale: "Apocalypse" is capturing a strong upscale audience, indexing at a 117 among adults 18-49 living in homes with $100K+ incomes ("most current" including L+3).
