Fortified with new judge John Legend, NBC’s The Voice had its latest season premiere Monday and as usual locked down the 7 to 9 p.m. slot.

The Voice led all prime-time attractions with 274,143 D-FW viewers and 63,403 within the advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-old age range.

The Peacock’s 9 p.m. launch of the new spy drama The Enemy Within then drooped to 119,498 total viewers, falling to third place at that hour among the Big Four broadcast networks behind CBS’ Bull and Fox4’s local newscast. Enemy Within inched up to second place among 18-to-49ers (33,211), with Bull taking the top spot.

Here are Monday’s local news derby results, with just two weekdays now remaining in the February “sweeps” ratings period.

CBS11 drew the most total viewers at 10 p.m. while Fox4 had the upper hand with 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).

Fox4 cruised to two more 6 a.m. wins and added 5 and 6 p.m. firsts with 25-to-54-year-olds. WFAA8 led in total viewers at 6 p.m. and NBC5 won at 5 p.m. in that measurement.
