List of most-watched television broadcasts

This page lists the television broadcasts which had the most viewers within individual countries, as measured by ratings and research agencies in those countries. The research methodology and choice of statistics varies between sources, and is explained in individual sections.

Many events are watched simultaneously around the world, and recorded programs exported to multiple countries, but it is difficult to collate reliable figures for global audiences. Those countries where reliable figures are available may use incompatible methodologies, such as the minimum age of counted viewers, and what proportion of the program must be watched when measuring the "reach" of a program, rather than its average or peak audience.[1] Figures published by organisers and journalists are routinely exaggerated or misrepresented, claiming billions of viewers worldwide, where independent analysis suggests few if any broadcasts have reached 1 billion viewers.[2][3]

Although numbers are unreliable, it is generally accepted that the most widely watched events worldwide are international sporting events such as the Summer Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup and Formula One,[2] with annual events such as the Super Bowl in the U.S., and the UEFA Champions League finals in Europe picking up large regional audiences.[4] Record-breaking audiences are also claimed for news events such as the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing,[5][6] and music events such as the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert.[7]

Australia

Most-watched broadcasts of all time (total viewers)

The following is David Dale's approximate ranking of the most-watched television shows of all time in Australia using data from Nielsen Corporation and OzTAM.[8]

Note: the funeral of Princess Diana, the Wedding of Prince Charles and the Wedding of Prince William were all carried by all 4 major networks and are counted together.

Most viewed broadcasts since 2001 (OzTAM 5 City Metro Average)

The following table is a list of the most viewed programs based on the OzTAM 5 City Metro Average rating system.[9][10] It does not include regional numbers (40% of the population) and uses the average viewership, not the peak viewership. Also note these ratings are not comparable with ratings before 2001 due to different methodologies used after this time.

Canada

The two most-watched television broadcasts in Canadian history occurred during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. For the gold medal game of the men's hockey tournament at the 2010 Winter Olympics, played between the United States and Canada, confirmed 16.6 million Canadians watched the whole game, roughly one-half of the country's entire population.[22] A groundbreaking 26.5 million Canadians watched some part of the game, over 80 percent of the country's 34-million-person population.[23] According to multiple sources, 13.3 million Canadians watched the games' opening ceremony, which was the previous record.[24]

Many believed the final game of the 1972 Summit Series had up to 18 million viewers, but only 4.3 million TVs tuned in. This statistic does not represent the reality that most school children (representing the tail end of the baby-boom i.e. a large population) nationwide watched the game in gymnasiums on only one or two TVs. 10.3 million people watched the ice hockey gold medal final of the 2002 Winter Olympics.[25]

China

China Central Television's Spring Festival Gala has regularly attracted between 700 million[26] to 1.17 billion viewers annually.[27][28]

The CCTV's main evening news broadcast Xinwen Lianbo has a daily audience of around 135 million people,[29] and it is also one of the most expensive shows in the world per advertising spots, with its 2013 advertising slots selling for a record of 5.4 billion yuan.[29]

The Legend of Bruce Lee (2008), based on the life of Bruce Lee, has been watched by over 400 million viewers in China, making it the most-watched Chinese television drama series of all time, as of 2017.[30][31]

A Chinese boxer Zou Shiming's professional boxing debut on 6 April 2013 generated an estimated 300 million viewers.[32][33][34] Another professional boxer Qiu Xiaojun attracted around 200 million people for his fight against Ghanaian fighter Raymond Commey on 12 February 2016.[35][36]

India

India measures the viewership of shows through TRP (Television Rating Point). Shows used to have higher ratings in 2000s as compared to present decade. The present shows that regularly score above or around the 3.5 mark are Kumkum Bhagya, and its spin off Kundali Bhagya along with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Sometimes these shows touch 4 which is still quite low as compared to highest rated shows of the last decade. Other than that Naagin is the only show now that scores above 4.7. All of these shows are produced by the same banner (Balaji Telefilms) except Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Currently, Bigg Boss 13 has been the most watched show of 2020, recording an 11.3 TRP for the Final and an average of 8.3 TRP on regular episodes, being the most watched reality show in India. Ironically, 2.5–3.5 TRP was considered an average in the 2000s era of classic serials. The most-watched channel for years has been StarPlus, then Zee TV with major competition from Colors. Mahabharat (1988–1990), the television adaptation of Indian epic Mahabharata, had a share of 97.8% among Indian viewers.[44]

Viewership ratings are provided by two companies in South Korea, AGB Nielsen Media Research and TNmS. Originally Media Service Korea was the only company providing such information, and it was later acquired by Nielsen Media Research. In 1999 TNS Media Korea also began such service, and later changed its name to TNmS. AGB collects viewership data based on 2050 households, while TNmS has 2000 households with measuring devices. Drama ratings usually vary between the two companies by 2–3%.[81]

United States

Though the Apollo 11 Moon landing is the most watched television event in American history, it is considered a news event, meaning that Fox's live telecast of Super Bowl LVII in 2023 holds the record for the largest average viewership of any live single-network U.S. television broadcast, with 115.1 million viewers.[83][84] During this broadcast, the halftime show was watched by 118.7 million viewers.[85] Super Bowl XLV's live broadcast in February 2011 helped Fox become the first television network in the United States to be watched by at least 100 million American viewers by average for a single primetime night of programming.[86] Moreover, Super Bowl telecasts account for 22 of the most-watched television broadcasts based on overall viewership in U.S. television history.[87] Fox's live telecast of Super Bowl LI in 2017 currently holds the largest total viewership (those who watched any part of the broadcast) in U.S. television history, with 172 million viewers.[88]

This page lists the television broadcasts which had the most viewers within individual countries as measured by ratings and research agencies in those countries The research methodology and choice of statistics varies between sources and is explained in individual sections Many events are watched simultaneously around the world and recorded programs exported to multiple countries but it is difficult to collate reliable figures for global audiences Those countries where reliable figures are available may use incompatible methodologies such as the minimum age of counted viewers and what proportion of the program must be watched when measuring the reach of a program rather than its average or peak audience 1 Figures published by organisers and journalists are routinely exaggerated or misrepresented claiming billions of viewers worldwide where independent analysis suggests few if any broadcasts have reached 1 billion viewers 2 3 Although numbers are unreliable it is generally accepted that the most widely watched events worldwide are international sporting events such as the Summer Olympic Games FIFA World Cup and Formula One 2 with annual events such as the Super Bowl in the U S and the UEFA Champions League finals in Europe picking up large regional audiences 4 Record breaking audiences are also claimed for news events such as the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing 5 6 and music events such as the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert 7 Contents 1 Australia 1 1 Most watched broadcasts of all time total viewers 1 2 Most viewed broadcasts since 2001 OzTAM 5 City Metro Average 2
