Seattle topped local market NFL ratings for the 5th week of the season with a 46.3/70 household rating share for the Seahawks’ week 4 Monday Night Football contest versus the Detroit Lions (the rest of the games in the list below were week 5 games).
This doesn’t mean more people in Seattle watched football than in New York, it just means a (much) higher percentage of people in Seattle watched football than in New York, but New York’s market is so much bigger than Seattle’s that it still means more homes were tuned-in in New York than in Seattle.
46.3% of the Seattle-Tacoma market is around 818,000 homes. 16.8% of the New York market is around 1.24 million. Here’s a list ranking the number of homes in each Nielsen market.
