NBC's America's Got Talent kept showing why it's summer's only juggernaut while Fox4's 9 p.m. local newscast thrived in prime-time's final hour Tuesday night.
Got Talent lured 230,860 D-FW homes from 7 to 9 p.m. and also dominated among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds (195,300). Fox4's weather-spiced newscast then took over, winning from 9 to 10 p.m. in both homes (216,580) and with 18-to-49-year-olds (124,000).
At the opposite end of the ratings teeter-totter, Fox's On the Lot amateur film competition series drew just 45,220 homes and also flopped among 18-to-49-year-olds. On both counts it again had the smallest audiences of the night among the Big Four broadcast networks.
The premiere of Shaq's Big Challenge fared reasonably well on ABC, placing second at 8 p.m. in homes (126,140) and with 18-to-49-year-olds (96,100). It's a worthwhile series that deserves some ratings gains while six obese kids try to shed their excess weight.
On cable, Larry King Live fell well short despite an exclusive interview with Paul McCartney, Ringo Star and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison. Tied to the one-year anniversary of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles-driven Love, the show drew just 16,660 homes against the competing Hannity & Colmes on Fox News Channel (33,320 homes). King should do much better Wednesday night with Paris Hilton in his house.
In the local news derby, Belo8 won handily in total homes at 10 p.m. But NBC5 again took the bigger prize with a victory among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Belo8 also won in homes at 6 a.m. while tying for first with Fox4 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
The 5 and 6 p.m. ratings were surprises all around. Belo8, which usually wins across the board, didn't win anything Tuesday. NBC5 finished first at 5 p.m. in both homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds.
The Peacock also topped the 6 p.m. field in homes, but Fox4 scored an unusual win among 25-to-54-year-olds.
