Tree Lighting Beats Out NFL Atop Weekly Ratings

The NFL grabbed two positions in the weekly prime time Top 5. However, not the top spot.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting was number one in New York with 1.7 million WNBC viewers and a 8.7 share, according to the Nielsen Company.

As for football, it performed well, minus the locals in action. At number two, the Fox afternoon game pitting Dallas against Indianapolis (won by the Cowboys in OT) had 1.2 million on WNYW and a 6.1.
