ABC's Once Upon a Time and Quantico Tie as Sunday's #1 Scripted Broadcast

Fast Affiliate Live + Same Day Results:

ABC Sunday Prime (7-11pm - 5.0 million and 1.3/4 in AD18-49): Opposite a down-to-the-wire Sunday Night Football game (NY Giants-49rs) on NBC, an NFL overrun-boosted CBS (Patriots-Cowboys) and AMC with The Walking Dead premiere coverage (9-11pm), ABC outdelivered Fox on Sunday by 2.3 million viewers (5.0 million and 2.7 million) and by 8% in Adults 18-49 (1.3/4 vs. 1.2/4).

· ABC's Quantico (1.6/5), which doubled its lead-in at 10pm (+100%), and Once Upon a Time (1.6/5) tied as Sunday's #1 scripted broadcast show in Adults 18-49, ahead of all three of CBS' NFL-fueled dramas and Fox's comedies. Last week's telecast of Quantico delivered increasing TV playback over its debut, jumping to a 3.3 L+3 rating with Adults 18-49, marking a 6% increase over its week-earlier debut (3.1 rating) to stand as the only new scripted program this season to build over its premiere telecast. The new ABC drama grew to 11.0 million Total Viewers after 3 days of TV playback.

· At 7pm, ABC's season premiere of America's Funniest Home Videos led its non-sports competition on Fox and was steady with its year-ago season opener (on 10/12/14) in Total Viewers (5.4 million vs. 5.5 million) and Adults 18-49 (1.1/4 vs. 1.2/4).

A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 48% in U.S. TV Homes. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which are increasingly not reflected in the overnight Live + Same Day numbers. As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.

Projections Rationale:

Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2014-15 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere).

Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals).

New Series: Based on similar series.
