D-FW viewers kept it in the Disney-owned family Monday, with ABC’s Dancing with the Stars drawing the most total viewers while ESPN’s Monday Night Football was the most-watched attraction among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds.

DWTS averaged 312,657 viewers in the 7 to 9 p.m. slot, comfortably whipping time slot competition from NBC’s The Voice (269,031 viewers).

The New York Giants’ 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals made MNF prime-time’s top draw with 18-to-49-year-olds (115,456).

Among CBS’ Monday night offerings, Matt LeBlanc’s new 7:30 p.m. show, Man With a Plan, emerged as the network’s top draw among 18-to-49-year-olds with 64,142.

Fox’s prime-time lineup of Gotham and Lucifer ran last in that key demographic among the Big Four broadcast networks.

Here are Monday’s local news derby results on the 13th weekday of the ongoing November “sweeps,” which end on the day before Thanksgiving.

Fox4 won at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming) while also sweeping the 6 a.m. competitions.

NBC5 answered with twin wins at both 5 and 6 p.m.
