The Dallas Cowboys’ pre-season “dress rehearsal” game -- although Tony Romo was out of costume after just three plays with a back strain -- expectedly dominated Thursday’s D-FW ratings.
Despite a late 9 p.m. start at Seattle, Cowboys-Seahawks averaged 602,004 viewers on CBS11, with 276,286 in the advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-old age range.
The first-place Texas Rangers’ 9-0 home win against the Cleveland Indians ranked third for the night with 169,978 total viewers on Fox Sports Southwest. CBS11’s 8 p.m. Countdown to Kickoff show had 219,554 viewers.
NBC’s competing Falcons-Dolphins pre-season game had no chance, drawing 120,401 viewers.
Here are Thursday’s local news derby numbers.
In a downsized three-way 10 p.m. race, TEGNA8 had the most total viewers while NBC5 won among 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).
Fox4 ran first at 6 a.m. in total viewers, but the Peacock again prevailed with 25-to-54-year-olds.
NBC5 continued to prosper at 5 and 6 p.m., running the table in both competitions.
