ABC’s “Castle” Finishes as the No. 1 Series at 10pm, Posting
Double-Digit Increases Over Its Most-Recent Original in Total Viewers

Monday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)
Featuring “The Bachelor” and “Castle,” ABC led the network pack on
Monday, beating runner-up CBS by 1.1 million viewers (8.1 million vs.
7.0 million) and by 5% in Adults 18-49 (2.2/5 vs. 2.1/5).
ABC marked its most-watched Monday since November – since 11/21/11.
“The Bachelor” (8:00-10:00 p.m.)
ABC’s “The Bachelor” ran a strong No. 2 against regular competition from
8:00-10:00 p.m. with Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, while finishing No.
1 among all key Women demographics (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54). In addition,
“The Bachelor” beat out its original unscripted competition on NBC
(“Who’s Still Standing?”/”Fear Factor”) during the 2-hour time period,
leading by 1.4 million viewers (7.2 million vs. 5.8 million) and by 16%
in Adults 18-49 (2.2/5 vs. 1.9/5). The ABC unscripted show was Monday’s
No. 1 TV series across the Women demos.
“Castle” (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
Building on its lead-in, ABC’s “Castle” finished as the No. 1 regular
program during the 10 o’clock hour among Total Viewers and Adults 18-49
to stand as Monday’s most-watched TV series overall. In the hour, the
ABC drama essentially tripled the delivery of NBC’s “Rock Center With
Brian Williams” in viewers (+216% - 9.8 million vs. 3.1 million) and
young adults (+188% - 2.3/6 vs. 0.8/2).
On its first original in 5 weeks (8.1 million and 2.0/5 on 12/5/11),
“Castle” jumped by double-digits over its last first-run telecast with
Total Viewers (+21%) and Adults 18-49 (+15%).
“Castle” rose over its performance on the same night last year by 8%
with viewers and by 10% with young adults (9.1 million and 2.1/5 on
1/10/11).
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating
comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same
Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the
Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 43% currently, from 38% at the
same point in 2011.
More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not
be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid
year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric,
once those stats are released by Nielsen.

TNT Acquires Hit Crime Drama Castle
In its latest high-profile acquisition, TNT has secured the exclusive off-network cable rights to the hit series, Castle, from Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Castle, which just completed its third highly rated season on ABC, is a crime drama starring Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Desperate Housewives) and Stana Katic (Quantum of Solace, TNT’s The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice). Castle (seasons 1 & 2) will begin airing on TNT in summer 2012. As part of TNT’s TV Everywhere rollout, Castle will also be available for online viewing through mobile phones, tablets, computers and other devices.
“With the addition of Castle, TNT continues to build a collection of hit shows that will perfectly complement our high-profile original series,” said Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).
TNT’s deal for Castle follows on the heels of the network’s recent acquisition of Hawaii Five-0, which will join the TNT lineup in 2014. TNT has also landed the popular series The Mentalist, which recently enjoyed a strong opening in its Wednesday 7-9 p.m. timeslot.
Castle centers on the life of Richard Castle (Fillion) – a famous mystery novelist and divorced father raising his teenage daughter, while being kept grounded by his Broadway diva mother. He was creatively blocked until the NYPD questioned him in connection with a series of murders staged to imitate crime scenes from his books. Castle found inspiration in NYPD Detective Kate Beckett, a bright and aggressive homicide detective with a fascination for odd and offbeat cases stemming from the years-old unsolved murder of her own mother. Though they instantly clashed, sparks of another sort began to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Castle stepped in to help find the copycat killer. Once that initial case was solved, Castle and Beckett continued to investigate strange homicides in New York, combining Castle’s writer intuition and Beckett’s creative detective work.
