· ABC's JKL ranked #1 in its time period among Adults 18-49 in each of the Top 10 U.S. Markets. In New York, JKL scored a 1.6 in Adults 18-49, beating NBC's Leno by 300% (0.4 rating) and CBS' Letterman by 220% (0.5 rating).

Some early points on Jimmy Kimmel Live's weekly numbers, ahead of the regular press release:

During the week of September 30, 2013, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live grew over premiere week in Total Viewers (+2%) and Adults 18-49 (+10%) to draw its biggest audience since early May and deliver its best young adult number since mid-April, excluding the NBA Finals weeks in June - since the weeks of 5/6/13 and 4/15/13, respectively. In fact, while JKL was up week to week by 10% in Adults 18-49, NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (-6%) and CBS' The Late Show with David Letterman (-2%) were both down from their premiere week performances.

For the 2nd week in a row, JKL saw impressive double-digit gains over the year-ago week in Total Viewers (+34%) and Adults 18-49 (+42%).

· For the 2nd straight week, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live ranked as the #2 broadcast talk show in late-night in Adults 18-49, increasing its lead over CBS' Letterman to 22% (versus +9% during premiere week).
