This very rarely happens, but a repeat of Fox's new K-Ville series had appreciably better ratings in D-FW than the previous night's premiere.
The set-in-New Orleans cop show drew 138,829 total homes Tuesday night, up from Monday's 119,344 in the same 8 to 9 p.m. slot. Even more impressively, K-Ville upped its haul of advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds from 31,000 to 74,400.
That was good enough to edge competing firstrun programming on two of the three other major broadcast networks. K-Ville drew more 18-to-49-year-olds than CBS' finale of Big Brother 8 and the first hour of ABC's Elvis Presley in Vegas special. NBC's second hour of The Biggest Loser led the way with 86,800 viewers in the 18-to-49 demo.
Tuesday's other big news came at 10 p.m., where Belo8's newscast climbed to a double-digit Nielsen rating (10.2) in total homes. That's a rarity these days for any late night local newscast. But Belo8 upped its 9:45 to 10 p.m. Elvis lead-in (180,234 homes) to 248,431 homes at 10 p.m.
Belo8 also comfortably won the late night news competition among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 returned to the 6 a.m. winner's circle in total homes, and tied for first with Belo8 in the 25-to-54 demo.
Belo8 had twin wins at 6 p.m. and also ran first at 5 p.m. in total homes. Fox4 prevailed at the earlier hour with 25-to-54-year-olds.
