[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' EXPECTED TO HAVE REACHED 34 MILLION VIEWERS IN EARLY SUPERBOWL RATINGS

So was Super Bowl XLI a behemoth in the ratings, as always?

The show averaged a 47.8 rating and 71 share in Nielsen's "overnight markets" (no viewer data available yet at this point), which ranks third overall and a tick behind last year's record-setting game (a 47.9/71 in overnights, which later translated to a best-ever 111 million viewers).

The second season premiere of NBC's The Voice, which followed the Super Bowl, airing from approximately 10:15-11:30 p.m. ET, averaged a 19.4/33, retaining 37% of the game's final half-hour (9:30-10 ET), and is 27% ahead of last year's airing of Glee on Fox, which averaged a 15.3/27 in overnights and eventually translated to 26.8 million viewers.

If this proves proportionate, adjusted Voice numbers should reach 34 million viewers. However, The Voice ranked below the last reality show that aired behind the Bowl, the premiere of CBS' UndercoverBoss, which averaged 38.7 million viewers.

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' TAKES A 27% LEAD OVER LAST YEAR'S 'GLEE' IN EARLY SUPERBOWL RATINGS

In early ratings, NBC’s Super Bowl ranked the third-biggest NFL telecast ever.

Sunday’s game delivered a massive overnight household rating of 47.8 — less than one percent lower than the Super Bowl’s all-time high telecasts (47.9 for both Super Bowl XLV and Super Bowl XXI).

While NBC’s post-game presentation of the second season opener of The Voice (arguably the more important telecast for the network) garnered a hearty 19.4 rating. That’s up 27 percent from Fox’s post-Super Bowl telecast of Glee last year.

TOP 5 SUPER BOWL OVERNIGHTS OF ALL TIME:
T1. 47.9/71 – Super Bowl XLV, Packers 31-Steelers 25, Fox
