I haven't had much motivation to post anything today. It's probably because the Steelers played so crappy yesterday that has me in such a funk. But a friend emailed over this press release from Nielsen Ratings showing last night's Super Bowl was the most watched program in the history of television. They estimate about 111 million people tuned in to watch it.
This number surpasses last year's Super Bowl, which was much more beneficial for my viewing pleasure, of 106 million viewers. Those are huge numbers to say the least. No wonder it costs so much for commercials. Interesting in the press release is how much NFL viewership has grown in just the last five years alone. Audiences are becoming younger and tune in much more regularly. There probably isn't a program on television that can claim its audience is growing larger and younger.
