Each week, we highlight the most-watched shows and networks using insights from Inscape, the currency-grade smart TV ACR data provider and data technology division of Vizio. Data is linear, live TV only and includes all episode types (new and reruns). Rankings are by percent share duration (i.e., time spent watching). Here's a look at the top 25 networks by viewership share for October 7-13 — head over to TVREV to see the program ranking and get insights about the top shows by watch-time.

Due to Hurricane Milton coverage, The Weather Channel jumps from No. 38 previously to No. 7, capturing 2.34% of all minutes watched. NBC remains in first place week-over-week, with its 8.87% viewership share driven largely by Sunday Night Football, college football, Today and The Voice. 

Some additional highlights around the most-watched TV networks: 

• ABC rises from third to second place week-over-week with 7.90% of watch-time, fueled in part by college football, Good Morning America, ABC World News Tonight With David Muir and Dancing With the Stars.
• The MLB playoffs helped Fox, TBS and FS1 all move up the ranking, landing at No. 3, No. 8 and No. 11, respectively. 
• Telemundo takes No. 17, up from No. 19 previously, with its 1.09% viewership share driven in part by reality series La isla desafío extremo. Meanwhile, Univision slips one chart position to No. 14 (1.28% of all minutes watched).
