Associated Press | The Super Bowl was watched by more than 106 million people, surpassing
the 1983 finale of “M-A-S-H” to become the most-watched program in
television history.
The Nielsen Co. estimated Monday that 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts. That beats the “M-A-S-H” finale, which had 105.97 million viewers in an era when there were fewer television sets.
Compelling story lines involving the city of New Orleans and its recovery from Hurricane Katrina and the quest for a second Super Bowl ring for Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning propelled the viewership.
The game also obliterated the previous record viewership for a Super Bowl — last year’s game between Arizona and Pittsburgh in which 98.7 million people watched.
Been with Natwest 16 months, from the outset I was refused free business banking due to a technical glitch on my credit report. I should add this was not my fault and I had letters backing this. Last month we faced some difficulties when a customer did not pay an invoice, I informed Natwest immediately that a few DD payments would likely fail. They agreed to refund me charges should this happen. To my horror they found it reasonable to charge me ?485 in failed payments!
The saints are definitely one of my favorite teams. i can never wait to see what happens next with them
