Local Nielsen ratings snapshot (Tues., Dec. 18)
12/19/07 09:28 AM
'Twas a light viewing night, with no
local or network program hitting a double-digit
Nielsen rating.
Tuesday's biggest draw, a last-minute repeat of CBS' NCIS, drew 216,768 D-FW homes to beat the second outings of two competing newcomers, NBC's Clash of the Choirs (131,522 homes) and ABC's big-money game show Duel (112,038 homes).
Two words about Duel: I'm addicted.
The latest finale of NBC's The Biggest Loser averaged 160,750 homes from 8 to 10 p.m. That was enough to beat both ABC and Fox, plus CBS' Cane at 9 p.m. The Unit put CBS in first from 8 to 9 p.m.
Loser beat all comers among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds, though.
In the local news derby, Belo8 stayed strong at 10 p.m., winning in total homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
At 6 a.m., downtrodden NBC5 rose up to tie Fox4 in total homes, but those finishes were reversed among 25-to-54-year-olds. The 7 to 9 a.m. portion of Fox4's Good Day again smacked all three competing network morning shows.
Belo8 won at 5 p.m. in both ratings measurements and also notched a 6 p.m. victory in total homes. Fox4 topped the 6 p.m. field in the 25-to-54 demo, with Belo8 sliding to an unaccustomed third.
