Super Bowl XLIV Sets Television Record

As the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in yesterday’s Super Bowl XLIV, the game became the most-watched program in U.S. television history. The Nielsen Co. estimated today that 106.5 million people watched the Super Bowl on average. That surpasses the 1983 finale of M*A*S*H which had an average of 105.97 million viewers. The viewership estimate also blew away the previous Super Bowl record. Last year’s game between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers was seen by “only” 98.7 million people.
