It wasn’t even close. NBC’s The Voice drew double the crowd of ABC’s The Bachelor in their latest 7 to 9 p.m. face-off Monday.

The Voice weighed in with 403,697 D-FW viewers and 133,379 in the advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic. The Bachelor wilted, with 169,978 total viewers and 66,690 in the 18-to-49 age range. Fox’s 7 to 9 p.m. lineup of Gotham and Lucifer also beat The Bachelor among 18-to-49-year-olds with respective totals of 82,568 and 69,865 viewers.

On a night of stormy weather, Fox4’s local newscast then took the 9 p.m. hour in total viewers with 233,719. But NBC’s competing Blindspot had the most 18-to-49-year-olds (79,393).

Here are Monday’s local news derby results.

TEGNA8 won at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and with 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).

Fox4 again ran up the score with twin wins at 6 a.m. before the 7 to 9 a.m. portion of its Good Day beat all three competing network morning shows. The station also drew the most 25-to-54-year-olds at both 5 and 6 p.m.

The total viewer golds at those hours went to NBC5 at 5 p.m. and CBS11 at 6 p.m.
