The premiere of CBS' Power of 10 flexed in D-FW Tuesday night, whipping NBC's potent America's Got Talent in total homes from 7 to 8 p.m. and placing a competitive second with advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds.
The Drew Carey-hosted game show, in which teenager Jamie Sadler won a million bucks, drew 161,840 homes opposite the first hour of Talent (139,825 homes). NBC's most successful summer show, with two North Texans among the eight finalists, then jumped to 192,780 homes in its last half-hour.
Another network premiere, ABC News' I-Caught, won the 9 to 10 p.m. hour in total homes (154,700) and ran second to NBC's Law & Order: SVU repeat among 18-to-49-year-olds.
Fox had a highly forgettable night in prime-time, drawing just 30,940 homes for the summer-long loser On the Lot and only 45,220 for a House rerun.
Over on ESPN 2, Barry Bonds' late night, historic 756th home run attracted 33,320 total homes. The Texas Rangers-Oakland A's game on Fox Sports Southwest averaged 49,980 homes.
In the local news derby, Belo8 took the 10 p.m. crowns in both total homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 again cruised at 6 a.m. with wins in both ratings measurements. Belo8 did likewise at 6 p.m., but split first-place finishes at 5 p.m. with NBC5. The Peacock had the edge among 25-to-54-year-olds, with Belo8 tops in total homes.
