NBC's The Voice reigned as prime-time's top attraction on both Monday and Tuesday in the ratings battles among the Big Four broadcast networks. But Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer refused to go quietly into the night.
CBS' annual telecast of the North Pole's signature sleigh-puller drew 234,063 D-FW viewers in the 7 p.m. hour Tuesday while The Voice had 330,442 in the same slot.
Rudolph also ran second with advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds, with 79,735 viewers to The Voice's 149,902.
CBS finished first from 8 to 10 p.m. in total viewers with its NCIS repeat and the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The runway models also ran away with the 18-to-49 race, but Fox was tops in that demographic from 8 to 9 p.m. with New Girl and The Mindy Project.
In Monday's Nielsens, The Voice dominated the broadcast network Nielsens from 7 to 9 p.m. in both ratings measurements. CBS' Hawaii Five-0 won at 9 p.m. in total viewers while NBC's competing Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas drew the most 18-to-49-year-olds.
Cable's Monday Night Football game between the Redskins and Giants emerged as the night's most-watched attraction, though. It averaged 371,747 viewers on ESPN, with 175,417 in the motherlode 18-to-49 demographic.
Here are the local news derby results:
Monday -- NBC5 had one of its better days in recent memory, sweeping the 6 and 10 p.m. competitions in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming. The Peacock added a 5 p.m. in total viewers.
Fox4 had the other firsts, running the table at 6 a.m. and drawing the most 25-to-54-year-olds at 5 p.m.
Tuesday -- CBS11 was tops at 10 p.m. in total viewers, but WFAA8 won among 25-to-54-year-olds.
Fox4 again ruled the 6 a.m. Nielsens in both measurements. NBC5 swept the 5 p.m. competitions while the 6 p.m. golds went to CBS11 in total viewers and WFAA8 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
