Local Nielsen ratings snapshot (Mon., July 9)

By ED BARK
CBS11's newscast had a rare big night at 10, finishing just a smidgen behind NBC5 in total homes but nipping the Peacock among advertiser-favored 25-to-54-year-olds.

The first-place finish with the principal newscast target audience -- 103,320 persons to 100,450 -- was CBS11's first local newscast win in several months. NBC5 took first in total homes, 161,840 to 159,460.

Over on ESPN, the baseball All-Star game's home run derby scored 71,400 homes. The network's first episode of its exemplary The Bronx Is Burning miniseries then hit for a bit higher average with 76,160 D-FW homes.

In the other local newscast competitions, NBC5 and Fox4 tied in homes at 6 a.m., but the latter station's Good Day won among 25-to-54-year-olds.

Belo8 returned to typical form at 5 and 6 p.m. by running the ratings table.
