[mvcg66b3r]

Super Bowl XLIX metered market (overnight) rating highlights according to NBC Sports:

-The Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX on NBC delivered the highest overnight rating in Super Bowl history, with 49.7 rating/72 share in households.
-NBC’s Super Bowl XLIX overnight topped a 50 rating in each half hour from 8 p.m. ET forward (peaking at a 52.9/73 from 10-10:15 p.m. ET).
-Comparably, NBC’s Super Bowl XLIX overnight is up by four percent from last year (47.6/70), and up by three percent from the prior record (48.1/71 for Ravens-49ers in Feb. 2013)

Lead-Out “The Blacklist”

-NBC’s special post-Super Bowl telecast of “The Blacklist” averaged a record 13.5 rating/24 share in metered-market households, making it the top-rated post-Super Bowl entertainment telecast in three years.
-Comparably, this 13.5 overnight rating makes “The Blacklist” the top primetime entertainment telecast since the Oscars (27.7/42 on March 2, 2014) in the metered-market households.
-“The Blacklist” was nine percent above the year-ago post-Super Bowl edition of “The New Girl” on Fox (12.4/21 on Feb. 2, 2014).
-Versus two years ago, “The Blacklist” is up +13 percent, with the 13.5 rating topping a 12.0 for CBS’s “Elementary” on Feb. 3, 2013.
-The last post-Super Bowl entertainment telecast to rate higher was NBC’s Feb. 5, 2012 edition of “The Voice” (which scored a 20.0/30).

And the final numbers are in:

114.4 million of us made Super Bowl XLIX now the most-watched program in television history!!!!!

CBS will have Super Bowl 50 next year, and the battle is on as to who will have that coveted post-game slot. I'm guessing a "Mom"/"Big Bang Theory" crossover episode, since Chuck Lorre produces both shows.

With CBS, the odds favor a drama or reality show airing after the Super Bowl. CBS hasn't used the post-game slot for a comedy since 1978, when All in the Family aired following the first ever Super Bowl played in prime time.

Plus, they typically want to spotlight a newer show that they are trying to get people to watch. Big Bang Theory already has great ratings, they don't need the help.

I think that the other folks who suggested that they'll use the time to push a new show that needs help are correct. I have to wonder if there will be some sort of controversy like "deflategate" in advance of Super Bowl L (and will they continue to use Roman numerals for 50?) to boost ratings. I'll admit, at the back of my mind I paid more attention to this Super Bowl than any other Super Bowl that didn't have the Steelers in it just to see if the Patriots would get caught cheating.

I believe the NFL has already announced that next year's game will be known as Super Bowl 50, I guess because 50 is such a big deal as an anniversary. 2017's game will be Super Bowl LI. I wonder where on Long Island it will be played.

This was already done on the People's Choice Awards.

Super Bowl LI will be played in Houston. FOX will be airing that game.

I don't know, but will it turn out to be one L of a game?
