| Katherine's
show Grey's Anatomy toppled its lead-in Desperate Housewives in
the ratings for the first time this week report ABC and Neilsen
Media Research:
"Grey's Anatomy" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
Fresh off its record setting post - "Super Bowl" telecast a week
earlier, ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" built substantially on its
lead-in to deliver a dominant victory during the 10 o'clock hour
in viewers and young adults. In its time period, "Grey's"
outdrew NBC's Olympic coverage by more than 4 million viewers
(25.3 million vs. 21.2 million) and beat the combined deliveries
of NBC and CBS in the time period by 24% in Adults 18-49 (11.2/25
vs. 9.0/20 - CBS and NBC together).
"Grey's Anatomy" produced the series' second-strongest numbers
ever, trailing only its post- "Super Bowl" telecast a week
earlier. In addition, the hot series generated ABC's largest
audience and top Adult 18-49 rating in the time period with
regular programming in more than 8 years - since 11/2/97, with
"Oprah Winfrey Presents: Before Women Had Wings" on the "ABC
Sunday Night Movie." |
