Obama Inauguration Likely To Be Most Watched Event in Television History

According to Pew Research, 67% of Americans say they will watch today's inauguration of Barack Obama. If so, that would put the number of viewers at 202 million, almost double the amount of people who watched the final episode of M.A.S.H.

We'll have to wait for Nielsen's final numbers, but it's clear that Obama's inauguration, in addition to drawing the largest live crowd to Washington DC, will set a new record for a television audience.
