NBC marched through prime-time Wednesday with time slot wins for all three of its Chicago-based action serial soaps.
Chicago Med took the 7 p.m. hour with 238,996 D-FW viewers, followed by Chicago Fire (246,026) and Chicago PD (246,026). That’s consistency personified.
Advertiser-coveted 18-to-49-year-olds weren’t quite as enamored, though. The 7 to 10 p.m. winners in that demographic were CBS’ Survivor (57,365 viewers), Fox’s Star (57,365) and Fox4’s 9 p.m. local newscast (a night’s high of 75,480).
Tuesday’s prime-time pacesetters were CBS’ NCIS repeat and Fox4’s 9 p.m. local news in total viewers (210,879 apiece), and Fox4’s news by itself in the 18-to-49 realm (69,442).
Here are the four-way Tuesday-Wednesday local news derby results.
Tuesday -- WFAA8 won at 10 p.m. in both total viewers and with 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).
Fox4 swept the 6 a.m. races and NBC5 did likewise at 5 p.m. The 6 p.m. golds went to the Peacock in total viewers and Fox4 among 25-to-54-year-olds.
Wednesday -- On the eve of the four-week May “sweeps” ratings period, NBC5 ran first at 10 p.m. in total viewers while Fox4 won with 25-to-54-year-olds.
Fox4 again ran the table at 6 a.m., as did NBC5 at 5 p.m. The Peacock and WFAA8 tied for the 6 p.m. top spot in total viewers, with Fox4 alone in first with 25-to-54-year-olds.
