At 10:00 p.m., ABC's premiere of "Save My Life: Boston Trauma" earned a summertime non-sports high in the time period with Adults 18-49 (0.8/3). The new show gained 9% in Total Viewers from its first half-hour to its second half-hour hour (3.3 million to 3.6 million).

A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 49% 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.
