Neftali Feliz's sparkling debut as a Texas Rangers starter couldn't match the pulling power of Monday night's Yu Darvish show. Still, Fox Sports Southwest will take these numbers any day of the week.
This time the game whisked by, with Texas finishing off a 1-0 win over Seattle precisely at 9:30 p.m. Rangers-Mariners averaged 250,642 D-FW viewers from first to last pitch Tuesday night. Monday's game drew 399,672 in beating all competing network programming, including ABC's Dancing with the Stars and NBC's The Voice.
Both shows had live 8 p.m. results editions Tuesday. Dancing pulled in 325,157 viewers to win the time slot, with CBS' NCIS: Los Angeles (291,286) trailing while The Voice (250,642) ran behind the Rangers (270,964) for that one-hour portion of the game.
The night's big hitter, as usual, was CBS' new 7 p.m. episode of NCIS, with 406,446 viewers. ABC's Body of Proof won from 9 to 10 p.m. with 304,835 viewers.
It played out quite differently with advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-olds. Fox's return of Glee won at 7 p.m. while its 8 p.m. episode of New Girl also beat all comers, including the first half-hours of Dancing and The Voice. The second half of The Voice then ran first with 18-to-49-year-olds before Body of Proof won the full 9 p.m. hour.
In Tuesday's local news derby results, WFAA8 romped to twin wins at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 ran the table at 6 a.m. and added a 6 p.m. win with 25-to-54-year-olds. CBS11 had the most total viewers at 6 p.m. while the 5 p.m. firsts were split between NBC5 in total viewers and WFAA8 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
