D-FW television watchers mostly took Friday off. So much so that the most-watched program of the entire broadcast day was Wheel of Fortune on CBS11, which lured 185,640 homes with a 7.8 Nielsen rating. That's the closest any show came to cracking a double-digit rating.
In the news derby, Day 2 of the November "sweeps" played out well for Belo8, which won in homes and advertiser-courted 25-to-54-year-olds at both 10 and 5 p.m. Fox 4 returned to the winner's circle in both measurements at 6 a.m. in what likely will be another nip-tuck battle with NBC5. At 6 p.m., Belo8 won in total homes and Fox4 with 25-to-54-year-olds. Through the first two weekdays (Nov. 2-3), here how it looks in the four major local news faceoffs:
