ABC's 20/20: Bruce Jenner - The Interview grew to 21.0 million Total Viewers (up +3.9 million from 17.1 million in L+SD) and a 7.0 rating among Adults 18-49 (up +1.7 rating points from a 5.3 in L+SD) after 7 days of TV playback, becoming TV's highest-rated newsmagazine telecast in the young adult demo since Nielsen began reporting Live +7 Day playback numbers in December 2005.

The season finale of Fresh Off the Boat grew to a 2.2 rating among Adults 18-49 (up +0.7 rating points from a 1.5 in L+SD), up 10% week to week to a 6-week L+7 high - since 3/10/15. In the L+SD ratings, FOTB was steady with the prior week.

In the final Live + 7 Day ratings, Grey's moved out of a tie with CBS' comedies (The Big Bang Theory/The Odd Couple) to win Thursday's 8pm hour outright among Adults 18-49 with a 7% advantage (4.4 rating vs. 4.1 rating).

Growing to a 2.2 rating in L+7, ABC's Nashville ranked as the #1 program in Wednesday's 10 o'clock hour among Adults 18-49, leapfrogging over CBS' CSI: Cyber (2.1 rating). In the L+SD ratings, Nashville was 2-tenths of a rating point behind the CBS drama.

Based on L+7 ratings through 31 weeks of the 2014-15 season, ABC is #1 in Nielsen's non-sports Adult 18-49 averages (2.2 rating-tied with CBS), leading by double digits over NBC (+10% - 2.0) and Fox (+16% - 1.9). Growing to a 2.2 L+7 rating among Adults 18-49 in the non-sports numbers, ABC is even year to year (2.2 for 9/23/13-4/27/14), while CBS (-4%), Fox (-5%) and NBC (-13%) are each declining.

Based on TV playback data for the 2014-15 season, ABC claims 5 of the Top 10 biggest gainers among Adults 18-49 on the broadcast networks (the most for any network): Modern Family (+2.1 rating points) - #2, How To Get Away with Murder (+2.0) - #4, Scandal (+1.6) - #6, Grey's Anatomy (+1.5) - #8 and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
