Local Nielsen ratings snapshot (Tues., July 28) -- Talent rises way to the top

By ED BARK
NBC's summertime locomotive, America's Got Talent, steamed to its most impressive showing yet Tuesday night.

The show's first "Vegas Verdicts" edition amassed 345,436 D-FW viewers in the 8 p.m. hour, easily besting the combined audience of competing network programs. That included the premiere of Fox's More to Love, which ran second with a comparatively piddling 86,359 viewers.

Talent likewise ruled with advertiser-favored 18-to-49-year-olds, drawing 142,613 compared to runnerup More to Love's 61,583.

NBC's 7 p.m. Talent repeat also topped the 18-to-49 Nielsens, but CBS' NCIS rerun had more total viewers. At 9 p.m. ABC's Bachelorette post mortem had the most viewers in both ratings measurements.

In local news derby results, WFAA8 topped the field at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the preferred advertiser target audience for news programming.

NBC5 again had twin wins at 6 a.m. while also sweeping the 5 p.m. ratings.

The 6 p.m. golds went to WFAA8 in total viewers and Fox4 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
