Like it did in the L+3 ratings, it was “This is Us” that led the adults 18-49 gains in the broadcast Live +7 ratings for week of Jan. 21.

The NBC drama grew the most of any of the week’s broadcast shows in the demo, after rising from its initial 1.9 live + same day rating to a 3.7 (+1.8, +95%) with seven days of delayed viewing. FOX’s “The Masked Singer” (3.7) and ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (3.0) tied for second place with matching 1.4 gains.

In addition, “How to Get Away with Murder” (+133%), “Supergirl” (+133%), and “Manifest” (+130%) posted the week’s largest adults 18-49 percentage gains, as all three more than doubled their initial ratings. Meanwhile, ABC’s “The Good Doctor” raked in the week’s largest total viewer gain, as it grew from 6.28 million L+SD viewers to 12.15 million with delayed viewing (+5.87 million, +94%).

Here are the broadcast Live +7 rankings for Jan. 21-27, 2019. They include only first-run series and specials, not repeats.
