SB LVIII MWTVS Ever -- February 12, 2024
Locator: 46803TV.
See this post for background and previous figures.
Now this story.
Super Bowl LVIII was the most-watched television show in history, as an estimated 123.4 million people watched the Kansas City Chiefs rally in overtime to defeat the San Francisco 49ers.
CBS Sports said that figure included viewers across all platforms and was up 7% from last year’s 115.1 million average viewers, which was also the previous record.
This year’s game was the most-streamed Super Bowl in history with a record audience on Paramount+ , the network said. It added that the network saw its best postseason viewership since 1998.
Sunday’s big game had a lot for audiences for tune in for — two of the best teams in the National Football League, a halftime show from Usher, wacky commercials and, of course, a very public love story.

As we all know, the GOP presidential contender has "invited" Russia / Putin to attack NATO allies. One can phrase that many different ways. That's how I interpret what Mr Trump has said. Others will see it differently. That's fine.
Now tonight, link here. This is written by Charles Kennedy, perhaps the best writer / reporter / analyst over at oilprice.com.
One can't pick and choose which articles one wants to "believe" when reading Charles Kennedy.
Now Estonia, who probably knows Russsia as well as anyone:
There's another aspect to the story but I think I'll go back to watching "Frasier."
