Infused by former Cowboy Emmitt Smith's mambos and rumbas, ABC's Dancing with the Stars keeps piling up big numbers in D-FW.
Tuesday's performance edition lured 376,040 homes, more than doubling the audience for every network prime-time show except NBC's Law & Order: SVU (214,200). Also hitting it big was Tuesday's second Wheel of Fortune show from North Texas, which equaled Monday's performance with 247,520 homes. That's a nice uptick from the 188,020 homes for the previous Tuesday's garden variety Wheel.
The big "lead-out" audience from Pat and Vanna helped CBS11's 6 p.m. newscast, which tied Belo8 in total homes and finished a strong second to Fox4 with 25-to-54-year-olds, the target advertiser audience for news programming.
Belo8 won the 5 p.m. faceoff in both audience measurements, took the 10 p.m. news competition in total homes and tied NBC5 at that hour in the 25-to-54 demo. The other news victories went to NBC5, which won twice at 6 a.m.
Austin-made Friday Night Lights got sacked with a 7 p.m. repeat of the episode that aired just 22 hours earlier in a special Monday slot on NBC. Lights attracted just 66,640 homes, falling short even of the 69,020 that tuned in to the 5 to 6 a.m. news on NBC5. It's darkest before the dawn.
