Building 30% on its repeat "AFHV" Adult 18-49 lead-in at 8:00 p.m. against SNF and CBS' NFL-inflated programming, ABC's "Once Upon a Time" paced well ahead of its Fox competition in the slot (+30% - 1.3/4 vs. 1.0/3). The ABC drama held even with its 2-hour telecast 2 weeks ago in Teens 12-17.

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 2015-16 season averages for originals (excluding the premiere).

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

New Series: Based on similar series.
