LOS ANGELES: Sunday's Super Bowl TV audience set a viewing record for the annual National Football League Championship and eclipsed the 1983 benchmark set by the comedy "M*A*S*H" to become the most watched US telecast, according to early ratings data on Monday.
A record 106.5 million American TV viewers watched the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's game, broadcast on CBS, Nielsen media and CBS said.
The figures topped the record held since 1983 by the finale of "M*A*S*H," which drew 106 million viewers.
