151.6 Million Viewers Tuned Into the Super Bowl

If you watched the Super Bowl, you were not alone. Over 151 viewers tuned into the game making it the most watched program in United States history. This is the second straight year that the marquee NFL game set record viewership as 148.3 million tuned into last years NY Giants-New England Patriots game.

"It's always incredibly satisfying to amass large audiences, but this television record simply reaffirms the power of the Super Bowl and the National Football League," said Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics. "Everyone associated with the NFL should feel a great sense of pride in this accomplishment and in providing a day of enjoyment to American families -- especially those who are struggling in these difficult times."
