Tiger Woods' sweat-drenched march to the PGA championship teed up big ratings Sunday afternoon for CBS.
Ratings peeked between 5:45 and 6 p.m., with 257,040 homes tuned in to see Woods hole a final par putt to win by two strokes. Overall the final round averaged 157,080 homes, with its concluding hour ranking as Sunday's most-watched program.
Saturday's TV audiences were comparatively miniscule. So much so that CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast not only logged a rare late night win, but also drew the day's biggest audience (135,660 homes).
On Friday, Belo8 led the 10 p.m. newscast pack with a dominating 192,780 homes. The ABC station also easily topped the 10 p.m. field among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Belo8 likewise won in both ratings measurements at 5 and 6 p.m., but its early morning ratings continued to sag.
Fox4 again took first place across the board at 6 a.m., completing a perfect week. Belo8 ran third behind runnerup NBC5.
Meanwhile, CBS11 had "hashmarks" (no measurable audience) from 6 to 7 a.m. in the key 25-to-54 audience demo. Even TXA21's competing Daily Buzz managed 5,740 viewers in the 25-to-54 age range.
