Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 02/01/15

The early numbers for Super Bowl XLIX look good. Currently it shows over 102 million viewers tuned into the game, along with a 35 rating in the A18-45 demographic. That is about 10 million behind last year's final number. Given that this was a close game, and last year's was a blowout, I expect a new TV record to be broken, once Final ratings are released tomorrow. My predication was over 115 million viewers for the game.

Preliminary L+SD Network Averages:

ABC - 2.5 million viewers, 0.6 rating in A18-49

CBS - 3.2 million viewers, 0.4 rating in A18-49

CW - 0.0 million viewers, 0.0 rating in A18-49

FOX - 1.3 million viewers, 0.5 rating in A18-49
