IN ‘LIVE PLUS THREE DAY’ RESULTS, ‘REVOLUTION’ DELIVERS NBC’s BIGGEST ADULT 18-49 GAIN EVER OVER A ‘LIVE PLUS SAME DAY' RATING THE 1.36-RATING-POINT GAIN IS ALSO THE BIGGEST EVER FOR A SERIES PREMIERE ON ANY NETWORK
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – September 25, 2012 – The September 17 premiere of NBC’s new Monday drama “Revolution” has set time-shifting records for the network and for a debuting series on any network.
In “live plus three day” ratings from Nielsen Media Research that count time-shifted viewing through the first three days after a show’s live telecast, the “Revolution” premiere grew by 1.36 rating points from its “live plus same day” rating (a 4.09) to its “live plus three day” rating (5.45).
That 1.36-point increase is the biggest gain going from L+SD to L+3 for any NBC telecast ever. It’s also the biggest increase for any series premiere on any network ever, with the previous high being 1.14 last fall for Fox’s “The New Girl”).
The only series on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox ever to gain 1.36 rating points or more going from “live plus same day” to “live plus three day” have been “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The New Girl,” “Big Bang Theory,” the post-Super Bowl telecast of “Glee” and the first appearance by Ashton Kutcher on “Two and a Half Men.”
“Revolution” has now reached a total of 24.2 million viewers who’ve watched all or part of last week’s premiere or the Wednesday encore.
In “live plus three day” results, “Revolution’s 5.4 rating in adults 18-49 makes it NBC’s top 10 p.m. ET premiere in nearly eight years, since “Medium” (6.3 on January 3, 2005), excluding previews.

ReplyDelete24.2 million! Whoah!
ReplyDeleteSo happy! I love this show! Hope it delivers strong story lines, character development and great episodes that we have all seen in the last 2 episodes!
ReplyDeleteOh, yay! Hopefully, it continues to do well and makes it past season one.
ReplyDeleteIt got nearly 9.3 million viewers this week. High, but not on top.
ReplyDelete24.2 mill for you NBC, you go NBC!
ReplyDeletelol Guys, that 24.2 million is like adding up Monday's viewers + the viewers that watched it on their DVR over 3 days + the viewers for all the repeat viewings. There's probably something else in there too (like adding in yesterday's viewers lol) but just be happy with the L+3 increase. That is quite substantial, even if it doesn't mean as much as the L views.
