NBC's The Voice again took the measure of ABC's competing Dancing with the Stars Monday, edging it in total viewers and crushing it among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds.
Voice amassed 351,094 D-FW viewers from 7 to 9 p.m. while DWTS had 323,557. CBS' quartet of sitcoms ranked third in that slot and Fox's Game 2 of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals ran a distant last with an overall average of 82,610 viewers. ESPN's Monday Night Football faceoff between the Broncos and collapsing Chargers drew 309,789 viewers.
In the 18-to-49 demographic, Voice was Monday's biggest overall with 175,417 while Monday Night Football placed a close second with 165,849. DWTS had 95,682, good enough to beat baseball and all of the CBS sitcoms except How I Met Your Mother.
At 9 p.m. among the Big Four broadcast networks, ABC's Castle beat NBC's Revolution in total viewers by a score of 296,021 to 220,294. But Revolution had a slight edge with 18-to-49-year-olds while CBS' Hawaii Five-0 ran third in both audience measurements.
On KTXD-TV (Ch. 47), The Texas Daily began Week 3 with its biggest total viewers audience to date. It drew 6,884 in the 8 a.m. hour; that's still a very small crowd, but it beats the program's previous steady diet of "hashmarks" (no measurable audience).
Here are Monday's four-way local news derby numbers:
WFAA8 swept the 10 p.m. competitions in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
NBC5 won in total viewers and 6 a.m. but Fox4 had the most 25-to-54-year-olds.
WFAA8 ran the table at 6 p.m. and the Peacock did likewise at 5 p.m.
