NBC's two-hour America's Got Talent, which included auditions from Dallas, again commanded prime-time's biggest audience Tuesday.
A total of 185,106 D-FW homes tuned in, with NBC5's following 10 p.m. newscast matching that number to outdraw its three rivals.
Talent also had the night's highest concentration of advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds. In the preliminary 7 to 8 p.m. competition, CBS' NCIS repeat won in total homes (172,928) but Fox's The Moment of Truth sucked in the most 18-to-49-year-olds.
ABC's Wipeout sagged in its second outing, luring 114,473 homes compared to 163,185 on the previous Tuesday. That was still good enough for second place at 7 p.m., with Wipeout likewise taking the silver in the 18-to-49 demo. Also at that hour, a second week's dollop of NBC's Celebrity Family Feud ran fourth in total homes and third with 18-to-49-year-olds; NCIS dipped to fourth in the latter battle.
The Texas Rangers' second consecutive one-run win at Yankee Stadium put 65,761 homes in MY27's field of play.
News-wise, NBC5 also comfortably won at 10 p.m. among 25-to-54-year-olds, the preferred advertiser audience for news programming.
The Peacock added a first place finish at 6 a.m. in total homes, but Fox4 topped the 25-to-54 field.
At 5 p.m., Fox4 and WFAA8 tied in both ratings measurements. WFAA8 again swept the 6 p.m. Nielsens, running its weekday winning streak to seven.
