Local Nielsen ratings snapshot (Mon., July 2)

By ED BARK
Rival networks' summertime blues are an elixir for Fox4's prime-time local news.

Reruns of popular network series again worked in the station's favor Monday. Its 9 p.m. newscast won the time slot in total homes (164,220), a frequent occurrence these days. And it tied ABC's Supernanny among advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-olds, improving on the lead-in feed from the Fox network's Hell's Kitchen in both ratings measurements.

Also faring better of late is CBS11's Wheel of Fortune, which trounced the three entertainment rag mags at 6:30 p.m. in both total homes and with 18-to-49-year-olds, where it usually falters.

Belo8 took the 10 p.m. newscast competitions in total homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.

Fox4 countered with two more victories at 6 a.m. The 7 to 9 a.m. portion of its Good Day then had comfortable twin wins over the three competing network morning shows.

Belo8 returned to dominance at 5 and 6 p.m., running the table after being dented in the past several days by both NBC5 and Fox4.
