The CBS Super Bowl on Sunday night was watched by an average of 106.5 million viewers, making it most-watched program in television history, the network reported today.
The viewership figure for Indianapolis-New Orleans surpassed the 106 million who watched the final episode of M*A*S*H in 1983. Of course, the U.S. population was smaller then, so the actual rating (the percentage of TV homes tuned to an ever) for the Super Bowl was lower than the M*A*S*H episode.
The coverage received an average fast national household rating of 45.0, up 7 percent from last year’s Pittsburgh-Arizona game (42.0) and the highest-rated Super Bowl since 1996 Dallas-Pittsburgh (46.0).
Nielsen estimates that this year’s game was viewed by 153.4 million viewers (six minutes or more), 1 percent higher than last year’s previous high of total viewers (151.6 million).
