“Super Bowl LVIII”
CBS Sports

Not only was the Super Bowl a nail-biter between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, but the big game also had CBS executives pondering how it would pay off in terms of Nielsen ratings. It turns out they had nothing to worry about as the network’s presentation of Super Bowl LVIII became the most-watched telecast in history across all platforms, including the CBS Television Network, Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, and CBS Sports, Univision, and NFL digital properties, including NFL+, topping last year’s game.

Featuring the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Super Bowl LVIII delivered the most-watched telecast in history with a Total Audience Delivery of 123.4 million average viewers.

On CBS alone, 120 million viewers watched the game, marking the largest audience ever for a single network and capped off an impressive record-setting season for CBS Sports. During the 2023-2024 season, “The NFL ON CBS” scored its most-watched regular season since the NFL returned to CBS in 1998 and posted the network’s best postseason viewership since 1998.

Compared to last year’s game on FOX, Super Bowl LVIII is the most-watched program ever, averaging 123.4 million viewers across all platforms, up +7% vs. last year’s Super Bowl, which held the previous record (115.1 million).

Overall, more than 200 million viewers (202.4) watched all or part of Super Bowl LVIII across networks, the highest unduplicated total audience in history and up +10% vs. last year’s Super Bowl (184 million).

    • This is the *new* Rachel Black who just started airing on DAYS last week, but of course with the ginormous tape-to-airdate gap on DAYS, she'll be airing on DAYS for months to come. And yet now she'll be new ex-Rachel. LOL.
    • As someone who cut ties with the show a little while after Chris Van Etten came back, I can’t talk on what the show is like now… is the show that bad? But even as a rumour, that’s pretty wild and radical. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.
    • Yes, I know JK is getting on in years, but perhaps he and his family (wife and/or son) could work with him as co-headwriters on the new TEON! I would also be available as a story consultant!

    • It's too bad they didn't see it through. Alan and Van could have married for all the wrong reasons and ended up caring for each other, with Ross in the wings and possibly Rita, too, to cause trouble. Rita was a LITTLE BIT of a schemer. She was kind of the Nola of her era, without the goofy personality. She deliberately went after Ed because she thought he would give her the lifestyle she wanted. She could do malicious things, i.e. cooly seduce Evie's crush (who was played by Jordan Clark, btw) and string him along until she was sure she had Ed. While Rita claimed to be deeply in love with Alan at the time she departed, part of the attraction for her was his money and power. As well as sharing aspects of Nola's character, she was also a more subtle version of Reva-she grew up poor and always wanted more than she had.
    • I'm not that surprised, in just the little we've seen of her she's been a complete natural. Even better than a handful of the adults.
    • Moving on to bigger projects (ex-Rachel Black, DOOL) https://deadline.com/2025/05/little-house-on-the-prairie-laura-ingalls-cast-alice-halsey-1236383465/

    • I liked that Steffy told Liam that he should tell Hope about his tumor. As acrimonious as Steffy & Hope are to each other, I'm glad they don't use their kids as pawns.
    • So early this morning, what I'm calling a crazy fan rumor, saying that the whole GH writing team is being replaced, wholesale, which I frankly don't believe. Wouldn't even post it except to warn others,  y'all, since you also may see it, read it, etc.  Of course what we will do is what we always do, watch the credits & find out what happens WHEN IT HAPPENS!!! 
    • I can't wait until he does one of these for BTG.  He's done them for several soaps so far.   LOL at Sara Bibel Video credit to Nnamdi Ngwe from this IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJFOg59RckB/ or this tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@nnamdingwe/video/7498912705424837919 https://x.com/deepsoap/status/1917700444312461350
