Super Bowl XLIV was the most watched program in US history

Sunday night’s Super Bowl XLIV was viewed by 106.5 million people in the US, becoming the most watched program in US television history. The prior most watched program was the series finale of M*A*S*H, which had 105.97 million viewers when it aired in February 1983.

Super Bowl XLIV is also, obviously, the most watched Super Bowl in history, edging out last year’s Super Bowl which had set the record with 98.7 million viewers.
