Day 7 of the November "sweeps" gave NBC5 another nudge toward sweeping the 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. newscast battles in both total homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds.
The Peacock nipped runnerup Belo8 in homes at 10 p.m. and zapped the ABC station among advertiser-courted 25-to-54-year-olds. Its margins were comparatively paper-thin at 6 a.m., where second-place Fox4 remains in contention but needs a lopsided win or two to get seriously back on track.
Friday's 5 and 6 p.m. results again were all over the board. Belo8 edged NBC5 in homes at 5 p.m., but the Peacock prevailed with 25-to-54-year-olds. CBS11 topped the 6 p.m. ratings in homes and remains a serious threat to Belo8 in that measurement. Belo8 countered by narrowly winning with 25-to-54-year-olds, with Fox4 just one-tenth of a rating point behind and third-place CBS11 only another tenth of a point back.
The 10 p.m. newscasts on NBC5 and Belo8 both were seen in more homes than any of Friday's prime-time entertainment programming on their respective networks. As with last Friday, no program of any sort came close to hitting a double-digit Nielsen rating. Lots of people just have other things to do on the last work day of the week.
