NEW YORK — This year's telecast of the Super Bowl football championship was the most-watched television event in U.S. history, drawing 111.5 million viewers Sunday night. The Nielsen company said Monday the telecast broke a viewership record set by the Super Bowl two years ago. It's the fourth time in five years that a Super Bowl game has set a viewership record. Last year's game, with 108.6m viewers, was the exception. The game kept up its appeal to viewers despite being relatively non-competitive. Seattle beat Denver 43-8. The game also set standards for the most-streamed sports event online and, with 24.9m tweets, the biggest US live TV event on Twitter. — AP
