Super Bowl XVIII Set a New Record for TV Viewers, Fox Says
Posted in: Uncategorized
The lopsided nature of Super Bowl XLVIII didn’t have as much of an impact on viewership as you might have suspected, with an average of 111.5 million people tuning in to the big game, according to Fox.
That makes it the most-watched Super Bowl, or program of any kind, in TV history, topping the previous record of 111.3 million viewers for the 2012 Super Bowl.
Ratings on Sunday peaked from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. ET as Seattle headed into halftime up 22-0. The halftime show, sponsored by Pepsi and featuring performances by Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was watched by 115.3 million people.
