President Bush's prime-time Iraq war address bridged entertainment programming Wednesday night, with ABC's coverage on Belo8 the preferred venue in D-FW. Here's a telescoped look at total homes numbers from 8 to 8:30 p.m. on the four broadcast carriers:
ABC -- 185,640 homes
NBC -- 126,140
Fox -- 90,440
CBS -- 83,330
That's more dispiriting news for Katie Couric, especially when you're outdrawn by the premiere of CBS' preceding Armed & Famous, in which Erik Estrada, La Toya Jackson and other has-beens pretend they're Muncie, Ind. cops. That mess attracted a hardly imposing 104,720 homes from 7 to 8 p.m., tying Fox's Bones for fourth in the time slot.
A&F fared better with advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds, placing third behind ABC's runnerup According to Jim episodes and The CW's frontrunning Beauty & the Geek.
Local news Nielsens again gave NBC5 wins at 10 p.m. in homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the key advertiser target for news programming.
Fox4 continued its rediscovered winning ways at 6 a.m., topping the charts in both ratings measurements. Belo 8 as usual had twin victories at 5 p.m. The ABC station also tied NBC5 for first at 6 p.m. in total homes. But Fox4 won at that hour with 25-to-54-year-olds.
