ALVISO, Calif., Sept 30, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- TIVO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- TiVo Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services and advertising solutions for digital video recorders (DVRs), today reported that after two weeks on the air an average of 46% of NBC's The Jay Leno Show television audience opted to record the program and watch it later, as viewed by TiVo(R) service subscribers. This represents an improvement over an average 70% of timeshifted viewing that NBC programs experienced last season during the 10pm hour and has resulted in less timeshifting for NBC thus far this season at 10pm when compared with other broadcast networks.

However, according to TiVo's Stop||Watch(TM) ratings service, nearly 20% of Leno's timeshifted viewing occurred within one hour of the start of the program, up from 13% last season and further slicing into NBC's 11pm timeslot that includes The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.

"Depending on who you ask, NBC's glass is either half full or half empty," said Todd Juenger, Vice President & General Manager, TiVo Audience Research & Measurement. "While Leno is succeeding in reducing the amount of timeshifted viewing for NBC's 10pm timeslot, he certainly isn't 'TiVo-proof' as nearly 50% of viewing is still timeshifted. Moreover, those timeshifted viewers are nearly twice as likely to watch within one hour, displacing NBC's 11pm timeslot."
