Belo8, with big audiences already tuned to Dancing with the Stars, drew the largest crowds for Tuesday night's prime-time storm coverage.
The ABC station topped runnerup Fox4, which had House in play, in both total homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the prime advertiser target audience for news programming. The latter statistic doesn't really matter, though, because all four of the market's major news providers went commercial-free from 8:50 to 10 p.m.
Belo8 had its biggest tune-in from 9 to 9:15 p.m., amassing 390,320 homes.
Fox4 peaked from 9 to 9:30 p.m. drawing 254,660 homes in each 15-minute increment.
NBC5 had its biggest audience from 9:30 to 9:45 p.m., with 240,380 homes.
And CBS11 hit its high point from 9 to 9:15 p.m. (223,720 homes).
Belo8 parlayed its prime-time high into comfortable wins at 10 p.m. in both homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, with NBC5 placing second in both measurements.
At 6 a.m. the Peacock ran first in homes, but Fox4 took the 25-to-54 crown. Scott Sams' second day with CBS11 again failed to nudge the ratings needle upward.
Belo8 dominated the 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts in both measurements. Its numbers at 6 p.m. were especially impressive -- 268,940 homes and 154,980 viewers in the 25-to-54-year-old demo.
Katie Couric's CBS Evening News remained in D-FW's death valley. It ran a distant fourth in homes and sunk to sixth among 25-to-54-year-olds.
