UPDATE: Super Bowl XLVI DOES set viewership record, after all

UPDATE, 9:35 p.m.: Media Life Magazine reports this evening that, indeed, last night's Super Bowl did indeed become the most-watched television program in history. On average, 111.3 million people tuned in to watch the Giants beat the Patriots.

Super Bowl XLVI becomes the third consecutive Super Bowl to set a new record; until 2010's Super Bowl XLIV, the high-water mark had been the 1983 series finale of M*A*S*H.

PREVIOUSLY: While the numbers aren't all in yet, the overnight ratings are in for last night's Super Bowl on NBC.

The AP reports this morning that the game (which, if you've not heard yet, was won by the New York Giants) pulled in a 47.8 rating and a 71 share, which is just that close to the record tied last year when Green Bay defeated Pittsburgh.

The original record (a 47.9 rating and 68 share) was set, interestingly enough, when the Giants beat the Denver Broncos 25 years ago.
