TSN sets record

As they say in sports, records are meant to be broken.

Last night’s Monday Night Football game featuring undefeated New England at Baltimore delivered a national average audience of 687,000 viewers, making it the most-watched NFL game in TSN history.

Audience levels peaked at 1,069,000 viewers in the final 18 minutes of the game as the Patriots, with their perfect season on the line, put the finishing touches on a last minute come-from-behind victory.

This marks a nine per cent increase over TSN’s previous NFL audience record, which was set four days earlier (Nov. 29, 2007) during the Green Bay @ Dallas game (630,000 viewers).

The network’s previous high for a Monday Night Football telecast was 564,000 viewers for Pittsburgh at Jacksonville on Sept. 18, 2006.
