Two new, week-long network reality competitions fought to a draw in their opening rounds Monday night.
The 90-minute premiere of ABC's big-money game show Duel averaged 133,958 D-FW homes from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
In that same time slot, the first 90 minutes of NBC's Clash of the Choirs also drew 133,958 homes. Its concluding half-hour built to 151,007 homes to run second behind CBS' twin repeats of Two and a Half Men.
Clash and Duel also tied among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds, with each show luring 78,835 of 'em. Round 2 is Tuesday night.
Elsewhere in prime-time, an original episode of CBS' CSI: Miami rolled up a league-leading 316,628 homes in pulverizing competition from Fox4's 9 p.m. newscast (121,780 homes), NBC's Journeyman (65,761 homes) and the locally produced Belo8 special Fighting For Life (43,841 homes).
CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast then rode CSI's coattails to comfortable wins in both total homes (228,946) and with 25-to-54-year-olds (132,503). Belo rebounded off a sub-measly lead-in to draw 170,492 homes in finishing second. Fox4 was the runnerup among 25-to-54-year-olds (85,391).
Fox4 continued its winning ways at 6 a.m., nipping Belo8 in total homes and prevailing by a wider margin in the 25-to-54 demo. The 7 to 9 a.m. portion of its Good Day again whipped the three network morning shows in both measurements. It's done so on seven of the last eight weekdays.
Belo8 again ran the table at 5 p.m. and also finished first at 6 p.m. in total homes. The ABC station shared the 6 p.m. lead with NBC5 in the 25-to-54 demo.
And in the sports arena, the Mavericks' narrow home win over Orlando drew just 65,761 homes on Fox Sports Southwest.
