live NFL football accounted for a staggering nine of the 10 most-watched
telecasts of 2013. In an unintentionally hilarious testament to football's
irresistible combination of violence and unpredictability, the top four
broadcasts were, in order: The Super Bowl, The Super Bowl (on delay), The
Super Bowl (west coast broadcast), and The Super Bowl kick-off show.
As you can see from this helpful graphic we made, the only non-football
broadcast was The Oscars, an event that conveniently takes place after
football season is over. (In the media business, The Oscars are non-
ironically referred to as "the Super Bowl for women.")
The NFL's dominance wasn't just limited to the playoffs. The No. 1 most-
watched primetime TV program was NBC's Sunday Night Football, followed by
the Sunday Night Football pre-game show and Fox's NFL postgame show, "The OT
."
The only cable program to break the top 10? ESPN's Monday Night Football.
