Super Bowl 50, which featured the Denver Broncos versus the Carolina Panthers, resulted in a 49.0 overnight household rating/share in Nielsen’s largest 56 markets. Those numbers were 1% less than last year’s 49.7 for New England-Seattle which set the record for overnight household rating, but they were still good enough for the second-best overnight rating ever. CBS said the game peaked with a 51.0 between 10:00-10:15p ET.
The highest rated market was Nashville which produced a 57.7. That rating represented a total of 571,317 households.
