Sunday Final Nationals: ’24: Legacy’ on Fox Registers Least-Watched Post-Super Bowl Telecast in 14 Years

Fox was the beneficiary of this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, TV’s biggest television night annually.

As indicated on Feb. 6, “Super Bowl LI” ranked fifth all-time to-date in average total viewership for a telecast in TV history.

Fox Sports’ Michael Mulvihill noted this is third time in the last 4 years that the highest-rated market for the Super Bowl wasn’t one of the participating cities.

Top ten markets for SB51:

1. Pittsburgh – 57.9
2. Buffalo – 57.2
3. Atlanta – 57.0
4. Norfolk – 55.9
5. Richmond – 55.7
6. Milwaukee – 54.8
7. Providence – 54.6
8. Boston – 54.3
9. Indianapolis – 54.1
10t. Minn / Harrford – 54.0

Half-hour breakdowns for “Super Bowl LI” in household rating/share and total viewers (adults 18-34, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 rating/share), were as follows:

7:00 First Quarter 43.3/70, 105.445 million (30.0/81, 34.3/89, 37.8/78)

With a start time of 11 p.m. ET, the premiere of “24: Legacy” delivered 17.6 million viewers and a 6.1 adults 18-49 rating. It is the least-watched telecast after a Super Bowl since “Alias” on ABC in Jan. 2003 (17.4 million) which had also began at 11 p.m. ET.

Earlier in the day at 3:55 p.m. ET, Bill O’Reilly’s interview of Donald Trump on Fox drew 12.2 million viewers which marks a record-low audience for a presidential interview during a Super Bowl pre-game. It’s down 18 percent in total viewers versus the year-ago Obama interview on CBS (14.9 million from Feb. 7, 2016). Former President Obama’s previous pre-Big Game interviews’ viewership figures were, as follows: 2009 NBC 21.9 million, 2011 Fox 17.3 million, 2014 Fox 18 million, 2015 NBC 16.4 million, 2016 CBS 14.9 million.
