It's all about the markets.

Quoting the first post in the thread with the Houston market TV ratings for football. Becomes apparent that the channel you are on matters a lot as does whether people care. Of note Houston vs. SMU on Thursday barely beat a high school game on a channel in fewer homes and games on ESPN and ESPN2 pretty easily outdrew Fox Sports, CBS Sports, and NBCSports telecasts. While games on the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) did very well.

A side note on the Thursday comparisons: Even though CSN Houston is not yet fully distributed in the Houston area, it nearly beat the UH-SMU game in households and actually led in several 25-54 and 18-49 demos. Impressive if you’re CSNH, less so if you’re UH.
Year to date for college football in Houston according to the Houston Chronicle. Fox Houston has apparently become Comcast Houston which I don't get in the DFW area on DirecTV. Sucks, I won't be able to watch the Astros anymore unless they are playing the Rangers.
