CBS11 ended June with a hot night for its 10 p.m. newscast, which cruised to a rare runaway doubleheader win.
Drawing 175,363 D-FW homes, CBS11 thumped NBC5 (129,087), WFAA8 (124,216) and Fox4 (75,504) while also winning comfortably among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
It helps, of course, to have a nice-sized lead-in from CBS' CSI: Miami repeat (189,977 homes overall). The runnerup program at 9 p.m., Fox4's local newscast, managed 119,344 homes on a night when six hours of firstrun reality competitions on ABC and NBC had up-and-down ratings performances against reruns on CBS and Fox.
ABC's The Bachelorette and Fox's Bones repeat tied at 7 p.m. with 119,344 homes apiece. But the Peacock's American Gladiators had the edge among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds.
CBS won in both measurements from 8 to 8:30 p.m. with a Two and a Half Men reprise. At 8:30 p.m., a second half-hour of another Bachelorette had the edge in total homes while Fox's House repeat hauled in the most 18-to-49-year-olds. CSI: Miami then burned everybody in both measurements.
ABC's The Mole again played dead with a double dose of fourth-place finishes at 9 p.m. NBC's two-hour Nashville Star lagged in third with 104,731 homes from 8 to 10 p.m. despite now having three Texas-tied contestants among the competition's Final Eight. They include Melissa Lawson of Arlington.
In the other local news battles, Fox4 won at 6 a.m. in total homes, with WFAA8 tops among 25-to-54-year-olds.
Fox4 had a better day at 5 p.m., taking first in both ratings measurements. WFAA8 again ran the table at 6 p.m. for its sixth consecutive pair of weekday wins.
