In Nielsen's early overnight numbers, Sunday's Super Bowl 50 averaged a 49.0 household rating/73 share in the 56 metered markets across the country for CBS, according to Variety.
The game's ratings peaked with a 51.0/73 for the final 15 minutes (10-10:15 p.m. ET).
Separated by mere decimal points, this year's game was unable to beat the overnight numbers for NBC's broadcast of last year's Super Bowl, which averaged a 49.7 household rating in the overnights. That would mean a record national audience of 114.4 million viewers for last year's game.
As far as CBS's hope to introduce its late-show lineup to new viewers after the show, it seemed to have worked. Nielsen reported that the "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" averaged an 11.2/21, an all-time high for the show. And the "Late Late Show with James Corden" averaged 3.5/10, the highest ever metered rating for any "Late Late Show" broadcast since the program's inception in 1995.
Final numbers for Sunday's game (as well as the post-game broadcasts) will be released later on Monday by Nielsen.
Advertisers, which spent about 11% or $500,000 more per 30-second spot for the game, got the extra bonus of its first live streaming. The game and all of its commercials streamed on Apple TV and Roku.
