TV Ratings: Super Bowl LVIII Sets All-Time Record

from The Hollywood Reporter

The Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers averaged 120.25 million viewers on CBS, by itself the largest telecast on record. Simulcasts on Nickelodeon, Univision, Paramount+ and other digital platforms pushed the total to 123.7 million. No other broadcast in American TV history — at least as measured by Nielsen — has drawn more people.

...estimates for the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 across ABC, CBS and NBC ranged from 125 million to 150 million viewers, with the high end being almost three fourths of the entire U.S. population at the time (but again, those are not official counts).
