Spotted Ratings, Super Bowl Sunday 2/5/12 (FINALS)


WHAT MATTERS:
  • It was kinda funny following the various streams of preliminary numbers, some of which said the Super Bowl ratings didn't suggest a new American viewership record and some of which did. In the end it did, just barely, set the record with 111.35 million viewers, ahead of last year's 111.01 million. The demo rating was a 40.5, up a bit from last year's 39.9 and the highest in 15 years.
  • The season two premiere of The Voice started relatively early (10:19) and picked up the best lead-out demo numbers since Grey's Anatomy (16.5) in 2006, but its 40.2% retention was less than that of 2010's Undercover Boss (16.2 with 42% retention). The show also finished a bit behind the Boss in total viewers (37.61m vs. Boss' 38.65m). Viewership retention was about 34%, behind Grey's and Boss but well ahead of most recent shows (and very close to that of the Survivor: All Stars premiere). It's definitely a top-tier performance among Super Bowl lead-outs in the last decade or so.
