The Big Guy networks are waiting another couple of weeks to flex their new fall seasons, but li'l dude MYNetworkTV went to the weight room Tuesday night with two new series premieres.
Jail fared the best, ranking a heady third from 8 to 9 p.m. with advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds. The reality series, portions of which were filmed in the Tarrant County lockup, otherwise ran fifth with 62,108 total homes on MY27 locally. Those are small numbers, but gargantuan compared to audiences for last fall's English language telenovela flops on MNTV.
The second-year network's other new attraction, The Academy, ran fourth among 18-to-49-year-olds, nipping a competing Bones rerun on Fox. But it placed ninth overall with just 31,663 homes, also finishing behind two cable attractions (TNT's repeats of Law & Order and Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor).
The CBS game show Power of 10 continued to perform well, winning from 7 to 8 p.m. in total homes and running a very close third with 18-to-49-year-olds. Big Brother 8 then tied for first in the 18-to-49 demo while placing second overall behind Fox's House repeat.
In the local news derby, Belo8 had two dominating wins at 10 p.m. in total homes and among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming. CBS11, holding on to most of its NCIS lead-in, ran second in both measurements (among English language newscasts) in its first official voyage under new news director Scott Diener.
Fox4 countered with twin wins at 6 a.m., with the 7 to 9 a.m. portion of its Good Day likewise running the table opposite the three network morning shows. The station also took the 5 p.m. crowns in both ratings measurements.
Belo8 won at 6 p.m. in total homes and shared the lead with NBC5 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
