Summertime sent another big chill through the weekend ratings, with Sunday night's 60 Minutes registering as prime-time's biggest overall draw with a decidedly measly 142,800 homes.
There was a bit of news on Friday, though. The 6 to 7 a.m. portion of CBS11's long downtrodden local waker-upper tied Belo8 for third place in both total homes (35,700) and with 25-to-54-year-olds (20,090), the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
That's not a huge deal, but it does allow CBS11's recently hired Scott Sams to puff his chest a bit while Belo8 continues to slog through a summertime slump in the early morns.
Otherwise, Fox4 won as usual at 6 a.m. in both ratings measurements, while Belo8 regrouped by taking those two prizes at 10 p.m.
Belo8 also took first place in total homes at 5 and 6 p.m. But rivals claimed the 25-to-54-year-old prizes, with NBC5 on top at 5 p.m. and Fox4 winning at 6 p.m.
