ABC’s trio of game shows, two of them hosted by Steve Harvey, swept Sunday’s prime-time Nielsens in the two major ratings food groups.
Celebrity Family Feud, with Harvey at the helm, won the 7 p.m. hour in total D-FW viewers (159,964) and advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds (48,107).
Then came Steve Harvey’s Funderdome, which likewise scored twin wins with 123,609 total viewers and 41,692 in the 18-to-49 age range.
The Michael Strahan-hosted $100,000 Pyramid made it a trifecta with the top 9 p.m. totals of 152,693 viewers and 44,899 in the 18-to-49 realm.
ABC also drew the most 18-to-49-year-olds at 6 p.m., with 32,071 sitting still for America’s Funniest Home Videos. AFHM ran second in total viewers with 79,982 while CBS’ 60 Minutes led the way (116,338). The fourth edition of NBC’s Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly continued to struggle, running third in both total viewers (72,711) and 18-to-49-year-olds (12,828).
Earlier Sunday on CBS, the dramatic end of the Travelers Championship peaked at 145,422 total viewers between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. Dallasite Jordan Spieth won on the first overtime hole by chipping in from a sand trap shortly after 5:15 p.m., leaving Daniel Berger with a long putt that he came close to sinking. Spieth led the tournament from the first round to the last, but Sunday’s final round averaged only 79,982 total viewers in running well behind the afternoon Texas Rangers-New York Yankees game on Fox Sports Southwest (116,338 viewers).
Friday’s prime-time Nielsens were led by CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods repeats in total viewers (167,235 apiece) and NBC’s Dateline among 18-to-49-year-olds (41,692).
Here are Friday’s local news derby results.
TEGNA8 nipped CBS11 for the most total viewers at 10 p.m. while Fox4 edged the ABC station in the 25-to-54-year-old demographic (main advertiser target audience for news programming).
TEGNA8 uncommonly swept the 6 a.m. competitions and added a 5 p.m. win in total viewers. CBS11 drew the most total viewers at 6 p.m. and Fox4 reigned with 25-to-54-year-olds at both hours.
