Super Bowl Shatters Viewing Record Again
Posted in: Uncategorized
For the ninth time in the last 10 years, Americans have rallied to shatter the all-time Super Bowl ratings record.
According to Nielsen fast national data, NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX now stands as the most-watched program in U.S. TV history, averaging a staggering 114.4 million viewers. The New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks nail-biter edged last year’s draw on Fox (112.2 million) by 2%.
The record for overall viewership of the NFL championship game has been re-written nearly every year going back to Super Bowl XL (February 5, 2006). The only game in the last decade that failed to improve on its immediate predecessor was Super Bowl XLVII — the 2013 CBS broadcast that dipped 2% to 108.7 million viewers after a 34-minute power outage put a damper on the Ravens-49ers showdown.
