Nice to see how you copy CBS. Just because CBS says they are America's #1 Network, which they are as ratings prove. FOX just said during NFL on FOX they are the Most Watched Football Network. Comments welcomed

CBS is the number-one network in terms of total prime-time viewers.
Fox likely draws more viewers to it's NFL games than ABC, CBS or ESPN. My guess is that Fox is making this claim based on the total number of viewers to all of the network's NFL games. A network that feeds (to most affiliates) 26 regular-season NFL games to it's stations (Fox and CBS) has an advantage over a network that feeds just one game a week (ABC and ESPN), even if that one game is in prime-time.

...and the AFC is in more medium markets.
Of the 12 teams in the Top 11 TV markets (#10 Houston and #11 Detroit are virtually tied), 8 are in the NFC (NY Giants, Chicago, Philly, SF, Dallas, Washington, Atlanta, Detroit). Only 4 are in the AFC (NY Jets, New England, Oakland, Houston), with only the Texans and Patriots not sharing their potential audience with an NFC team.
Of the NFL teams in markets #30 and below, the NFC is only in #43 (probably somewhere around #75 now after Katrina) New Orleans and #69 Green Bay (with most of the Packers' potential audience in #33 Milwaukee), while the AFC is in #30 Nashville, #31 KC, #34 Cincinnati, #49 Buffalo, and #52 Jacksonville.
Probably explains why Fox leads CBS in NFL ratings and why CBS led NBC years ago.

Uh, doesn't Oakland share its market with SF?

Yep. The Giants and Jets share New York as well. That was my point - CBS only has Houston and Boston to themselves in the Top 10. The others are shared, NFC-only, or don't have the NFL at all.

And if the New England Patriots had moved to Hartford in the 1990s, they'd be in market #28 today. Then what would CBS do?

Boston would still be in the Patriots territory. Bob Kraft was never serious about moving the Pats to Hartford anyway.
Everybody I ever knew from that area was either a Giants or Jets (and Yankees in baseball) fan. Connecticut seems to be more New York sports-oriented than Boston for the most part, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You're part right. There's still quite a few (brainwashed) Sox and (idiotic) Patriot fans in Connecticut. For the New York area teams, I only LOVE the Yankees and hate the Jets. I don't follow much NBA or NHL. On the sports segments of local news, Channel 3 of Hartford leans more towards the Red Sox, despite the fact they carried the broadcast Yankees games for the two years the games were on WCBS-TV in New York. Go figure!
