Durban Sandshark Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Stage is now set for this Super Bowl. Super Bowl LVIII. For the first time ever in Las Vegas, ironically in the stadium that late longtime Raiders owner Al Davis long wanted for years, Allegiant Stadium. No doubt will be a very interesting Super Bowl for multiple reasons with a desert/Las Vegas Strip rematch between defending champs 11-5 Kansas City Chiefs and the 12-5 San Francisco 49ERS from four years ago in Miami soon before things in our world really turned inside out. We'll get to all that leading up to Super Sunday, a de facto national holiday it seems. Would've liked to see the Detroit Lions finally taste a Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history in the Super Bowl era had they won last night in Santa Clara, a great story to play on. But not mad at the matchup at all. Big numbers for this one surely in viewership. Will be live on CBS/Paramount+ and...Nickelodeon in the USA. But we know we also like about Super Bowls--the commercials! Yes, the star-studded ads! To start with Jenna Ortega on the lookout for some missing Doritos Dinamitas, Lionel Messi for Michelob Ultra while ordering a beer at a beachside bar, Kate McKinnon for Helmann's Mayonaise, the Budweiser Clydesdales make their prominent return, Chris Pratt replacing Mr. Pringle, Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups, singer Addison Rae choreographic a mystery student for Nerds candy (a debut for them), Helen Mirren enjoying football while ordering Uber Eats, Kris Jenner for Oreo Cookies, and also M&M's with its Almost Champions Ring of Comfort (starring Dan Marino, Bruce Smith, and Terrell Owens), and Popeye's apparently announcing its own line of wings with a defrozen Ken Jeong: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/super-bowl-2024-commercials-watch-all/5078082/ That's it for now to start things. Will get back tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Don't really have a dog in the hunt at this stage with my Houston Texans, though not really expected to make it that far, not in it. Will be neutral but may support KC and Mahomes since I'm a Missourian. Usher will provide the headlining halftime entertainment presented by Apple Music in its second consecutive year sponsoring it. Reba McIntyre will sing the Star Spangled Banner. Univision will provide the Spanish language TV coverage. Ref is Bill Voinovich. Post Malone sings America The Beautiful. Andra Day performs Lift Every Voice. All of Nickelodeon's Super Bowl LVIII commercial inventory has been sold for its coverage. Not child's play with some big sponsors lined up forking over $300-200,000 per 30 second spot there with 15 Nick-only spots, mostly to toymakers. No beer involved: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/nickelodeon-super-bowl-commercials-sold-out-paramount-1235890038/ Volkswagen celebrates 75 years in the USA with a special Super Bowl ad centering on the iconic Beetle: https://www.superbowl-ads.com/volkswagen-celebrates-75-years-in-the-u-s-with-a-super-bowl-ad-highlight/ Mountain Dew reunites similar Parks & Recreation deadpan stars Aubrey Plaza and Nick Offerman in a commercial here...with a fire-breathing dragon: https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/mtn-dews-super-bowl-ad-reunites-aubrey-plaza-and-nick-offerman/2539241 Makes me wonder if Apple will pay homage to the iconic 1984 Macintosh commercial back with the 40th anniversary now here given that it now sponsors the halftime show.

Durban Sandshark Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 More star-studded forthcoming Super Bowl commercials in over two weeks' time. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Agent State Farm in an apparent superhero movie-style action spoof commercial Stone Cold Steve Austin tries on a new Kawasaki Ridge, a side-by-side multi-utility vehicle, while rocking a mullet for size since he's not known for his follicles Post Malone teams up with a Denver Broncos fan to have a very good time in Denver for Bud Light in the latter's night of his life Comedian Eric Andre pokes fun over his 2022 Atlanta Jackson-Hartsfield International Airport over his luggage with Dr. Umstick to blame his issue for Drumstick Ice Cream Cones Coors Light brings back the popular Silver Bullet Train In the NFL's newest Super Bowl TV commercial for this year, it will again feature NFL stars. But instead of Mexican flag football star Diana Flores playing lengthy keepaway from them last year, this one will have some NFL stars in Ghana to further broaden the NFL's international appeal Wayne Gretzky, Vince Vaughn, and very unfortunately Shady () appear in a BetMGM betting commercial with Vaughn apparently linking them thinking he was a good athlete https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/super-bowl-2024-arnold-schwarzenegger-tom-brady-featured-in-long-list-of-teasers-for-big-game-ads/ Illustrating just how Taylor Swift and her expected appearance in Las Vegas cheering on Travis Kelce, two health and beauty brands scooped up some "pricey" ad space for this Super Bowl like e.l.f Cosmetics. We'll certainly return to her soon here. The e.l.f. ad will be starring Jennifer Coolidge from the White Lotus, Meghan Trainor (in her second consecutive SB commercial appearance), and members of the Suits and Jury Duty casts: https://frontofficesports.com/taylor-swift-effect-some-brands-bought-their-first-super-bowl-ads/ Where's the tech? As the late Clara Peller from those famous Wendy's commercials from 40 years ago might have said. Etsy seems to be tech, but as Forbes' Martine Paris says, that's a stretch. You would think with past dot.com, crypto currency, computer, and the like, we'd expect AI to hit the scene. E-Trade is coming back though. Ice Spice appears for Pepsi's lemon-lime soda Starry (formerly Slice and Sierra Mist). Turbo Tax will also return for its 11th year with celebs TBA. Fast fashion retailer Temu will be returning to the Super Bowl following its debut last year with its ad, “Shop Like a Billionaire.” Ad Age says Swiss chocolate maker Lindt will make its Super Bowl debut this year. Dove and Nike team up to encourage girls to get into sports. Movie blockbusters expected to showcase their TV spots on Super Sunday include Dune: Part Two, Kung Fu Panda 4, Road House, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, IF, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Inside Out 2, A Quiet Place: Day One, Horizon: An American Saga, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, Deadpool 3, and possibly Netflix’s Spaceman starring Adam Sandler: https://www.forbes.com/sites/martineparis/2024/01/31/super-bowl-2024-top-ad-reveals-taylor-swift-and-ai-in-las-vegas/?sh=a6ae41a7d49a As a reminder the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast conducted in the USA will be provided by CBS, Univision in Spanish, streamed by Paramount+ and Vix (Spanish), NFL+/NFL.com/NFL app with a kids' telecast on Nickelodeon at the cable side. CBS' Super Bowl LVIII team is Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn (sideline reporters), Jay Feely (special teams analyst), and Gene Steratore (rules analyst). Nickelodeon will have Noah Eagle doing play-by-play, Nate Burleson, featuring Nickelodeon icons SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) (analysts) Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), Dylan Schefter and Sandy Cheeks (Carolyn Lawrence) as sideline reporters as Larry the Lobster (Mr. Lawrence) (special commentary) and Dora (Diana Zermeño) and Boots (Asher Colton Spence) (rules analysts) all educating the kids about the sport and the event itself. Radio in the United States is provided by Westwood One Sports with Kevin Harlan (play-by-play), Kurt Warner (analyst), Laura Okmin and Mike Golic as sideline reporters, and Dean Blandino (rules analyst). Surely there will be Spanish radio version here, but that has yet to be announced with the TV side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Kansas City Chiefs will wear red jerseys and helmets and white pants, for they're currently 2-1 in Super Bowls in the Chiefs' history, with multiple patches--the AFL, Super Bowl LVIII, captain's patch, and a Norma Knobel Hunt memorial patch. San Francisco 49ERS, also 2-1 here, will don white jerseys, gold helmets, and gold pants with their Super Bowl LVIII patch. When both get together wearing these uni combos, KC has won sic straight times, although 16 of the last 19 Super Bowl winners wore white: https://news.sportslogos.net/2024/01/30/kansas-city-chiefs-san-francisco-49ers-unveil-uniforms-for-super-bowl-lviii/football/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 We're gonna have an in-game DJ at the Super Bowl for the first time with DJ Tiesto spinning tunes outside game play at Allegiant Stadium 20 years after performing at the Athens 2004 Opening Ceremony during the Parade of Nations, believe it or not. That's a huge first distinction performing at both big sports events! https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/tiesto-to-dj-super-bowl-lviii-1.21452289 Just to remind you what he did back that summer 20 years ago: Super Bowl LVIII tickets are expensive, yes, setting "around $8,000 for a single ticket, which is 35 percent more expensive than the $5,997 “get-in” price of the Super Bowl this time last year, according to data from TickPick, an online ticket marketplace...with average price of $9,804–69 percent more expensive than last season’s championship." A record now, but lately prices has since slightly decreased StubHub's stats says the most Super Bowl scoopers hail from California. Also gets into who in the NFL gets the ticket price shares with both of the participating teams here garnering high prices to begin with. Helps to be patient as the hours and days goes by: https://theathletic.com/5241669/2024/02/01/super-bowl-ticket-prices-chiefs-49ers/ https://nypost.com/2024/02/02/sports/super-bowl-2024-ticket-prices-are-dropping-see-49ers-vs-chiefs/ Extensive details regarding Nickelodeon's Nickified Super Bowl LVIII week-long broadcasting production starting Monday at 6pm US CT mostly from Bikini Bottom: https://www.sportsvideo.org/2024/02/01/nickeldeon-nickified-super-bowl-lviii-kick-off-on-monday/ NFL Network and NFL Digital Media will provide over 70 hours of Super Bowl LVIII coverage this coming week starting Sunday at 8am US CT: https://www.sportsvideo.org/2024/02/01/nickeldeon-nickified-super-bowl-lviii-kick-off-on-monday/ Univision already has nearly sold out all of its Super Bowl LVIII TV advertiser space with Nissan, Audi, and Metro by T-Mobile headlining the purchases there. Still trying to get who's covering it there in Las Vegas, a highly multicultural city with a sizeable Latinx community BTW, but can say that from the looks of that publicity photo that it's be gonna seriously coed (a good thing) for its debut Super Bowl broadcast. Found out TelevisaUnivision's sister TV channel Canal 5 will show it in Mexico live as will rival TV Azteca's Canal 7 along with ESPN Deportes and FOX Deportes. More details will arrive...but UPDATE: Wikipedia notes that Armando Quintero and Benny Ricardo will handle CBS's SAP play-by-play and analysis duties. We'll see some official aspect to it: https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-univision-nissan-audi-metro-t-mobile-buy-ads/2538011 Seven Network down in Australia will show the whole shebang live from Las Vegas Monday morning AEDT time from 9am on 7, 7mate, and 7+ (why is Brisbane and Queensland an hour earlier than NSW/ACT, Victoria, and Tasmania here?) Feed will be directly from CBS/Paramount+. There's actually gonna be an Aussie flavor in both the pregame presentation and in the game itself at 10am AEDT with Mitch Wishnowksy set to be the first Australian to play in two Super Bowls, breaking a tie with fellow countrymen Ben Graham, Arryn Sipposs, and Jordan Mailata in the latter and a special Super Bowl Edition of the NFL Armchair Experts, hosted by Trent Copeland and featuring the first Aussie to ever play in a Super Bowl and Geelong Cats AFL star, Ben Graham on the ground in Paradise, Las Vegas before the main event at 9am AEDT in the former. Has any Australian advertisers forked over any cash on TV ad space here like Canadians have? Maybe not: https://7plus.com.au/where-to-watch-the-nfl-super-bowl#:~:text=Seven's Mega Super Bowl Monday,February from 10.00am AEDT. As the designated home team since this is held in the AFC territory, the Chiefs will practice at the rival host team and fellow AFL/AFC member Las Vegas Raiders' practice facility in Henderson, Nevada, the week leading up to the game. The 49ers will practice at UNLV's Fertitta Football Complex in Paradise, Nevada. This will be the first Super Bowl since Super Bowl LV that featured a defending champion in it (being the Chiefs in this case): https://news3lv.com/news/instagram/kansas-city-chiefs-to-practice-at-raiders-headquarters-for-super-bowl-lviii-las-vegas-allegiant-stadium-afc-pro-football-championship-nfl Also we have yet to see the unveiling of the Super Bowl LVIII playing grass field at Allegience Stadium in Las Vegas. That'll be known Monday. But we do know the NFL monitors that closely for no slipups like last year's. Nurtured at a sod farm for months. Natural grass as the Raiders prefer and like it. Also talks about the Death Star stadium and the personalities who appeared at the stadium. And it's on a retractable field tray like Glendale's https://kslsports.com/510687/allegiant-stadiums-roll-out-field-space-station-look-to-be-center-stage-during-super-bowl-in-vegas/ https://en.as.com/nfl/super-bowl-2024-what-kind-of-grass-does-allegiant-stadium-have-in-las-vegas-n/ ESPN may not have the rights to Super Bowl LVIII here in North America (well, kinda actually does in Canada since it owns a small share of TSN's ownership) but that doesn't mean it can't provide the 24/7 multiplatform coverage including the game itself in Australia/New Zealand, Brazil, and Latin America (excluding Brazil): https://www.sportsvideo.org/2024/02/01/espns-super-bowl-lviii-week-studio-presence-descends-upon-las-vegas-coverage-across-espns-platforms-provides-49ers-chiefs-analysis-news-and-more-leading-up-to-following-america/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Philadelphia Eagles will play there as the designated team to open their 2024 season with an opponent TBA, but it won't be held in Rio De Janiero's iconic Maracana Stadium.

They just did the Pro Bowl https://play.tv2.dk/info/nfl https://sport.tv2.dk/amerikansk-fodbold/sendeplan Now back to those lovely upcoming Super Bowl LVIII commercials. Just how much those 30-second+ Super Bowl commercials cost for businesses and other advertisers to fork over to capture the attention of 115 million+ viewers during the game that annually guarantees such a massive audience and continously set TV ratings records for many years? Now it's at $7 million in the USA. Even if it turns out controversial or panned. Now even the pre-game Super Bowl segment gets lucrative ad space for years. As the overall pie shrinks when such an event grants major pub for the band for the people get familiar and boost the company's revenue. Classic throwback in catching everyone's attention- at once.

This year, Jason Momoa and Jennifer Beals joins them after the first two learn that Jason's Super Bowl party was canceled because his Internet system is down as they try to convince him musical and dance style. Song in question is Flashdance (What A Feeling!) as they pay tribute to it with different lyrics. Like with John Travolta last year in paying tribute to Grease and his late friend Olivia Newton-John, Beals comes in as a reference to her movie at her balcony watering her flowers and while in the commercial as a whole with nods to the movie and paying tribute to singer Irene Cara who sadly died in 2022.

Latin Grammy winners Grupo Frontero appears in a nearby seat encouraging him to keep narrating his story in a cameo scene. This Nissan Spanish USA and Latino commercial will air during TelevisaUnivision's Super Bowl LVIII presentation.

Examples like this are just the beginning and it's not yet indistinguishable from the real thing--far away from that but getting there; companies will continue to use it with some unsettling examples: https://futurism.com/the-byte/coke-ai-generated-super-bowl-ad-scary https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/bodyarmors-regional-super-bowl-commercial-uses-creepy-ai/2540141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 The Big Three Auto companies--GM, Ford, and Chrysler (now Stylanto)--won't participate in any Super Bowl LVIII advertising this year. Kawasaki was already mentioned with the mullet-sporting Stone Cold Steve Austin commercial. So has Volkswagen celebrating its Beetle past, highlighting its humble roots being in the US in the 1950-60s along with the introduction of the all-new ID Buzz all-electric van set to finally go on sale in June and just now with the Nissan Latin one starring Marcelo Hernandez for TelevisaUnivision. BMW, Kia, and Toyota are also appearing in the Super Bowl with their own ads with Christopher Walken appear for BMW and Eli Manning doing for Toyota on the lookout for a new ride: https://www.motortrend.com/news/every-car-commercial-super-bowl-lviii-2024/ Additional info coming from Australia's Seven Network on its upcoming Super Bowl LVIII. 7's Sunrise will be crossing live to 7NEWS US Correspondent Mylee Hogan at Allegiance Stadium for all the pre-match antics from 5.30am AEDT before heading towards the NFL Armchair Experts at 9am AEST on 7mate and 7+ on Super Bowl Monday for the Aussies. McDonald's and bet365, Seven's NFL Australian broadcast sponsors this year, will be on hand for this too. It will show NFL Honors this Friday afternoon at 1pm. Australians can catch the full Super Bowl LVIII replay on 7mate at 4.00pm (local time), and stream on-demand on 7plus. In the lead-up to Monday morning, Australian NFL fans can also re-live all the action of the NFL's past most iconic Super Bowl clashes, with the Super Bowl Countdown always-on channel on 7plus. Did air the Pro Bowl competitions this past weekend on 7mate and 7+: https://tvcentral.com.au/super-bowl-on-channel-7-schedule/ TV Azteca 7 and Azteca Deportes also will show Super Bowl LVIII in Mexico starting with Ritual NFL Live at 5:30pm Mexico/USA/Canada CT this Sunday. Andy Solas and Pablo de Rubens were also on hand for NFL Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night in Las Vegas handing out the lucha libre mask to both teams' players.

The TV Azteca Super Bowl LVIII promo discusses the 7 reasons why this Super Bowl is so exciting to watch while obviously here mixing Las Vegas' gambling (set in a studio sound stage made into a casino) with the football: https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecadeportes/ritual-nfl/envivo https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecadeportes/super-bowl-se-hace-presente-mascara-lucha-libre-nfl https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecadeportes/super-bowl-lviii-azteca-deportes-las-vegas-nfl-2023-playoffs We'll discuss this very soon more in depth but we are finally heading into Canada and this Super Bowl. Like many nations' broadcasters carrying Super Bowl LVIII, CTV, TSN, and RDS--all under Bell Media's ownership--will not be carrying much of the American Super Bowl commercials. That's due to CRTC rules dictating that the Canadian broadcast won’t include most of them, giving rights holder CTV/TSN a chance to take their own healthy cut from the big game. Some American companies are indeed purchasing ad time though for the Canadian Super Bowl broadcast but not many. CTV/TSN are charging over C$200,000 for a 30-second spot in Canada with an estimated audience of 8 million Canadians--Canada has approximately a tenth of the American population: https://theprovince.com/entertainment/television/here-are-the-super-bowl-ads-you-mostly-wont-see-in-canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 CBS Sports' Super Bowl LVIII promo showcasing its groundbreaking visual technology on display in Las Vegas Sunday David Beckham and his wife Victoria, one of the most super-famous couples around walking this planet, appear in upcoming UberEats Super Bowl commercial referring to a viral moment from their Netflix documentary when the self-deprecating, quick-witted Victoria recalled her working class background with David appearing with his head popping, urging her to be more truthful. Becoming an infamous meme. That scene got recreated for this with Victoria underestimating the level of gravity the commercial they're in thanks to David notifying her this. Even asking if Jennifer Anniston will be in it. There's even a Spice Girls-themed joke involved in her not remembering what group she's famous for being in: https://www.thedrum.com/news/2024/01/30/victoria-beckham-recreates-infamous-working-class-meme-uber-eats-super-bowl-ad And guess what? Jennifer Anniston IS going to be in that UberEats commercial with another famous "friend" in David Schwimmer. Rachel and Ross together again. Not that I ever was a Friends watcher. But this reunion isn't warm and fuzzy here; Jen doesn't want to be friends with David, apparently, and there's some nods to them on the show like "have we met?" that Jen asks with David speaks of working together for 10 years. Usher and Jelly Roll also appear.

Durban Sandshark Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Gonna focus on the game in question this post and will as we go along--some things I originally want to discuss will just have to be deferred to even afterwards because my public computer crashed on me earlier today as I was completing that. So look forward for more stuff Monday and a little beyond. From what I've been reading and listening during this Super Bowl Week, this one could be defining one legacy-wise for some of the more principal actors involved. Talk abounds that Patrick Mahomes, should he win Sunday, would cement his place as easily one of the greatest quarterbacks ever in NFL history with a third Vince Lombardi Trophy. He's already, no question, the best NFL QB right now. I would agree on both counts here, and I'm certain that he will get more chances barring serious injuries. His tandem with his Kansas City coach Andy Reid certainly has made them one of the best. These are right now the glory days for the Chiefs Kingdom with all due respect to the AFL days and of Len Dawson/Hank Stram early NFL era. Reid doesn't seem to looking at retirement any time soon at age 66 ("Today's not the day," he says yesterday). If they lose Sunday, it won't hurt as much given their recent Super Bowl wins in Miami and Glendale. As for San Francisco, I think the real legacy mark will fall on head coach Kyle Shanahan, a coach trying to shake off his reputation of blowing major leads during his past Super Bowls he was in. Including, and most notoriously, blowing that 28-3 first half lead to that horrific overtime loss to that morally corrupt, arrogant, low and dirty, and cheating Evil Empire in Houston as Atlanta offensive coordinator. Easily the WORST Super Bowl OF ALL TIME!!! I was cussing loudly and angrily at a Wing Stop when it all over; I never forgave the Atlanta Falcons after that because I knew it'll be the beginning of their end. Just like I did the same with the Shams years earlier in New Orleans. Still mad at that. Again a lead was blown four years ago under him now in his current capacity as 49ERS head coach versus the Chiefs in Miami. Shanahan's 49ERS team this time around is more talented and deeper with the edition of running back Christian McCaffrey, QB Brock Purdy, and a strong defense. They admit their D against Detroit in the NFC Championship was "unacceptable" and needs to up that against the well-known offensive firepower. I like their chances this time around. But if they don't win, and they better win under this composure because the salaries are bound to change; several key players will have to part ways and head to different teams to justify paying the expected big bucks coming for the likes of Purdy (more on him later) with the salary cap. These days teams win championships in the NFL when the QB is under a rookie contract, agreeing to get than market value, or vets' minimum before "showing them the money". Consequently, the depth won't be there next year. Shanahan won't get fired after this, and likely there will be further opportunities given his coaching youth. The Super Bowl LVIII field design for Las Vegas and the game between Kansas City and San Francisco now revealed literally. Sod and natural grass: https://news.sportslogos.net/2024/02/06/field-design-for-super-bowl-lviii-between-kansas-city-chiefs-san-francisco-49ers-revealed/football/ San Francisco 49ERS are going to deal with the "soft" field at UNLV they're practicing in and adjust to it with an altered schedule since they didn't want to continue making an issue of it. Second time the Super Bowl playing surfaces, even during practice, comes under scrutiny: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39468496/49ers-deal-soft-practice-field-alter-schedule Both teams are very much locked in by this point to focus on the game at hand coming up Sunday afternoon. Going over practices and video footage of themselves and of their opponents. Coaches devising strategies and exploiting matchups in their favor. Team meals. Hoping for quality rest with intense level security detail protecting them. No distractions needed and batted away. Westwood One Sports officially announces its live Super Bowl LVIII Super Bowl Sunday radio coverage with the principal faces involved--Kevin Harlan, Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, Laura Okmin, Mike Golic, and Dean Blandino all calling the action live from Las Vegas and Scott Graham and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Devin McCourty anchoring Pregame, Halftime, and Postgame Coverage. Coverage of the broadcast begins Sunday live at 1pm with the pregame at 3pm and game presentation at 4pm.

Durban Sandshark Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 A look at the potential movies and TV spots planned to make their appearances during the Super Bowl commercial breaks. Some may just be there on Nickelodeon's broadcast like, perhaps, the Garfield Movie. It's largely a Disney, Paramount (naturally since it's that who is broadcasting the Super Bowl via CBS, Nickelodeon, Paramount+), and Universal affair. Sony and Warner Bros., who have opted out of airing movie trailers during the Super Bowl. While some studios prioritize their ad spend, others, such as Amazon MGM Studios, are reserving promotions for closer release dates. https://screenrant.com/super-bowl-2024-movie-tv-show-trailers-expect/ https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/super-bowl/2024/02/08/65c4fd8eca4741bf668b466d.html Profiles of the billionaire owners of the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ERS, the two Super Bowl LVIII teams battling it out tomorrow, Clark Hunt and Denise DeBartolo York.

Gives advertisers leverage in releasing them early and builds anticipation afterwards: https://wtmj.com/homepage-showcase/2024/02/09/super-bowl-commercials/ Before we get to Usher and halftime, it is known that the Super Bowl halftime show will generate higher viewership than the game itself, as evidenced by Rhianna last year. It's a nice to get them engaged for those who aren't sports fans or not fans of football. There's a nice story here in the history of that starting with the gamechanging moments we now know it as and why the performers don't get paid. Not to mention market placing: https://thehustle.co/why-the-super-bowl-halftime-show-is-the-most-important-commercial-on-tv/ Speculation abounds as to what Usher songs he'll perform from his playlist in his halftime show. They usually last around 11-15 minutes but he says he wants to give extra time to make it worth more for himself and the audience with the usual balance and expectations. Given that he's been at this since he was teen 30 years ago, he adds that it's difficult to cram his 30-year recording career into a small portion: https://time.com/6693501/usher-super-bowl-setlist-special-guests-halftime-show/ https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39494446/usher-super-bowl-half-2024 Been confirmed Alicia Keys will join him at halftime performing "My Boo".

Durban Sandshark Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 Definitely a classic. And a much better OT Super Bowl than the first one. Imagine how scary they would be if KC was more fuller strength than this. That Mahomes Magic. On 2/11/2024 at 10:01 PM, Bear said: boo Far better the Kansas City Chiefs to win in a Super Bowl OT than that morally corrupt, arrogant, and low down and dirty cheaters from New England when they horrifically first did that--and MUST have all their titles revoked! A record 202.4 million viewers watched at least a portion of Super Bowl LVIII on CBS, Paramount+ streaming, Nickelodeon, TelevisaUnivision, and NFL digital platforms, according to Nielsen. That's 60% of the US population! A 10 per cent jump over last year's figure of 183.6 million. Averaged 123.5 million overall. All US most-watched non-news TV viewing records in history! That's on par with the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, that was shared by all three TV networks with less people in the USA (202 million) than now. Shattered the previous record last year of 115.1 million from the Chiefs-Philadelphia Eagles game on FOX/FOX Deportes, an increase of 7%. CBS' broadcast alone averaged 120.3 million. Surely the exciting game itself, the overtime aspect, the Taylor Swift storyline impact, and Usher's halftime performance all unquestionably played their roles: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/super-bowl-lviii-breaks-ratings-records-apollo-moon-landing-mash-finale-212955707.html https://www.sportsvideo.org/2024/02/13/super-bowl-lviii-ratings-cbs-sports-notches-most-watched-telecast-in-history/ Broke Canadian TV records too for Super Bowls with an average of 10 million viewers--nearly a third of Canada's population--when it was shown on CTV, TSN, RDS, and on Paramount+ Viewership peaked at 12.6 million during the halftime show, featuring R&B superstar Usher. Now one of the top 5 most watched English programming in Canada. All this from Numeris, Canada's answer to Nielsen: https://www.bellmedia.ca/the-lede/press/super-bowl-lviii-becomes-most-watched-super-bowl-on-record-with-10-million-viewers-on-tsn-ctv-and-rds/ https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/nfl/nfl-super-bowl-most-watch-program-in-u-s-1.7113427 Also was a big touchdown down in Australia for the Seven Network, using the CBS Sports broadcast, on Monday morning there, averaging 800,000 viewers with a peak of 2.7 million on Seven and 7+: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/super-bowl-monday-a-touchdown-for-seven-1033062025 https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2024/02/13/record-breaking-super-bowl-lviii-broadcast-triumphs-on-channel-7/ https://bnnbreaking.com/sports/super-bowl-lviii-breaks-records-a-triumph-for-digital-sport-content-in-australia 16.8 million watched in peak of TelevisaUnivision's broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII from Las Vegas in Mexico with the Tres Amigos (Pepe Segarra, Antonio de Valdés, and Enrique Burak) on Canal 5 and TUDN.
