SUPER RATING For NBC; Highest-Rated SUPER BOWL in 22 Years

NBC and the NFL got huge numbers as the Super Bowl over-night ratings have been released.

Sunday's game got a 43.9 Nielsen rating with a 65 share, from 28 overnight markets, an 8.6 percent increase over the 40.4 rating for last year's game on CBS. The telecast received the highest overnight rating since CBS's 1987 Giants-Broncos Super Bowl which had a 47.9 rating/68 share. Over 100 million viewers watched some or part of the game.

Late Saturday, NBC sold all it's remaining ad-time for the NFL finale at a record $3 million a minute. FOX will broadcast next year's Super Bowl
