  • "Celebrity Family Feud" held steady week to week in Total Viewers (8.73 million vs. 8.72 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.0/7 vs. 2.1/8), tracking as its most-watched telecast overall.

At 9:00 p.m., ABC's "BattleBots" took first place in its hour for the 2nd week in a row in Total Viewers (4.5 million) and Adults 18-49 (1.3/4), ranking as the No. 1 series in the slot for the 5th week running with young adults.

"Save My Life: Boston Trauma" (10:00-11:00 p.m. - 3.5 million and 0.8/3 in AD18-49):

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.
