dbo:abstract
  • 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. 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 reach 1 billion viewers. Although numbers are unreliable, it is generally accepted that the most widely watched events worldwide are international sporting events such as the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup, 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. Record-breaking audiences are also claimed for news events such as the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, and music events such as the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert. (en)
