NBC put its prime-time ratings on ice Wednesday with Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final between Detroit and Pittsburgh.
The Penguins' 3-2 win interested just 36,534 homes in the D-FW viewing area. In comparison, Fox's competing two-hour So You Think You Can Dance, which focused in part on the show's Dallas auditions, drew 131,522 homes.
The 9 p.m. hour went to CBS' CSI: NY repeat, which also was Wednesday's most-watched program with 228,946 D-FW homes. CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast then held on to the lion's share of a big lead-in audience to notch its second straight narrow win over WFAA8.
Fox4's 10 p.m. newscast scored a rare victory among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming. WFAA8, CBS11 and NBC5 trailed in that order.
The 6 a.m. total homes gold also went to Fox4, but WFAA8 ran first with 25-to-54-year-olds. The ABC station ran the table in both measurements with its 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts.
