PREMIERE WEEK L+7s: "GOTHAM" SOARS IN DAYS 4-7, POSTS LARGEST L7 RATINGS POINT GAIN OF ANY SERIES
· The debut of GOTHAM delivered the largest post same-day ratings point gain (+2.7) of any series during Premiere Week - gaining more than the Big Bang Theory premieres (+2.4 and +2.6)!
· In fact, in days 4-7, GOTHAM added nearly an entire ratings point beyond its Live + 3 rating (5.1 > 6.0). This is not only the largest L7 vs L3 lift of any show during premiere week, but it's also the largest ANY regular broadcast telecast LAST SEASON.

· Also note that in the Live +3s, ABC's How To Get Away With Murder out-rated GOTHAM by 6 tenths. In the Live +7s, that gap closed down to only one tenth of a ratings point.
· GOTHAM and RED BAND SOCIETY posted the largest percentage gains (both +82%) of any series during Premiere Week.
· The FAMILY GUY crossover event added another half a ratings point in days 4-7 to a 6.5 rating, making it the #2 show OVERALL during Premiere Week (behind Big Bang Theory)
