Overview:

In yet another week of exciting NFL football coverage, Sacramento, CA residents made sure to catch all of this week’s biggest games. Sunday’s “NFL on FOX National” on KTXL (FOX) took the top spot in this week’s broadcast series ranking thanks to a live household rating of 17.7. However, in the broadcast network ranking it was KCRA (NBC) that took the number one position as the network earned an average live household rating of 3.2 throughout the week.

On cable, Monday Night Football on ESPN earned the top position in this week’s series ranking thanks to a live household rating of 4.8. Much like the broadcast category though, the number one series was not enough to secure the network the top spot in the network ranking. FNC (FOX News Channel) instead earned that title this week, drawing an average live household rating of 1.0.
