JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE Grows to Its Best Numbers Since November

Broadcasting from Austin, Texas during the week of 3/10/14, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live posted its 3rd consecutive week of growth in Total Viewers (+3%) and Adults 18-49 (+4%) to deliver its strongest numbers since mid-November - since the weeks of 11/25/13 and 11/18/13, respectively. Timed with the 28th annual South by Southwest(R) (SXSW(R)) Festival, the show's week-long trip to the Texas state capital marked JKL's 3rd-best performance so far this season in both viewers and young adults.

As the gap between ABC's JKL and NBC's Fallon continues to close, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon declined by another 2% week to week in Adults 18-49 and was down 53% from its premiere week just 3 weeks ago. In fact, JKL has now slashed the gap by 3/4 in both Total Viewers (-77%) and Adults 18-49 (-75%), as compared to the margins between the shows during Fallon's first week (w/o 2/17/14).

· JKL posted gains over the same week last year for the 3rd week in a row in Total Viewers and for the 2nd straight week in Adults 18-49.

· ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live ranked as the week's #2 talk show in late-night on broadcast and cable among Total Viewers and Adults 18-49.
