Peak D-FW ratings for the NBA's thoroughbreds couldn't match those for Big Brown's shocking last-place finish in the Belmont.
Saturday afternoon's last leg of horseracing's Triple Crown hit a high of 304,450 total homes to easily rank as the day's top attraction.
Sunday night's Game 2 of the NBA Finals between Boston and L.A. topped out at 292,272 homes between 10 and 10:15 p.m.
Friday's most-watched attraction, CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast, hit roughly half those numbers with 148,572 total homes. WFAA8 won at that hour among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
In the waker-upper hour, Fox4 took the 6 a.m. gold in total homes but sunk to third with 25-to-54-year-olds behind fronrunner NBC5 and WFAA8.
Fox4 ran the table at 5 p.m., though, with WFAA8 doing the same at 6 p.m.
