ABC’s Dancing with the Stars bested The Voice in total D-FW viewers for the second straight Monday before again “skewing old” with a vengeance.

From 7 to 9 p.m., DWTS pulled in 247,217 viewers, with The Voice close behind (239,946). But it was another slaughterhouse among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds, with The Voice drawing 76,970 to just 25,657 for DWTS.

In the 9 p.m. hour, CBS’ Scorpion had the most total viewers (218,133) and NBC’s The Wall prevailed with 18-to-49-year-olds (41,692).

Here are the local news derby results for the 13th weekday of the May ratings “sweeps.”

CBS11 won at 10 p.m. in total viewers, but TEGNA8 drew the most 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).

The spoils also were split at 6 a.m., with Fox4 running first in total viewers and NBC5 on top with 25-to-54-year-olds.

TEGNA8 swept the 6 p.m. competitions and NBC5 did likewise at 5 p.m.
