Comcast Still Perplexed About Adult Super Bowl Interruption The Tucson Citizen reports that Comcast has been unable to figure out how some unwanted adult content was streamed to viewers in Arizona during the Super Bowl. Some Comcast cable viewers saw about 30 seconds of pornography instead of the football game.
The company's corporate affairs manager in Tucson, Kelle Maslyn, said Wednesday the cable company has yet to find the perpetrator or perpetrators.The Tucson Citizen says those who witnessed the naughty clip can obtain a $10 credit from Comcast by calling 888-315-8219. Posted on February 4, 2009 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) | ![]() Nielsen Media Research says the Super Bowl on NBC delivered an average of 98.7 million total viewers. This made Super Bowl 43 the most-watched Super Bowl ever. It's also the No. 2 telecast of all time, trailing only the 1983 MASH finale, which had 106 million viewers. Nielsen had released some numbers earlier that were slightly lower but the L.A. Times says these were just preliminary numbers. Nielsen's Monday numbers were actually preliminary results, called "fast nationals" in ratings lingo. These early statistics are always subject to further review and indeed often rise after Nielsen considers additional data. But the size of the discrepancy in this case, more than 3%, took some observers by surprise.

Football drama "Gridiron Gang" scored a touchdown at the North American box office, while the thriller "The Black Dahlia" withered, according to studio estimates released on Sunday.Audiences were apparently less than thrilled with Brian de Palma's Black Dahlia, as were critics. It was a slow weekend at the movies, that's for sure. Posted on September 18, 2006 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) | Mark Wahlberg Feels Invincible
Invincible, the feel good football movie starring Mark Wahlberg topped the box office this past weekend with an estimated weekend take of $17,029,000. In second place was Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, which has now made a total of $127,684,000 so far in the U.S.
In third place is Little Miss Sunshine, with an estimated take of $7,500,000, which brings its total take to date $23,024,000, which is excellent considering the small budget and limited release. Warner Bros.' Beerfest glugged in at fourth with $6,500,000, and Accepted came in fifth with $6,476,000 in its second week. Universal's Idlewild came in eighth with a disappointing estimated take of $5,892,000. Posted on August 28, 2006 Permalink | Subscribe | | | Comments (View) | |
