The FIFA World Cup final is by far and away the most watched television event. The 2006 FIFA World Cup final between Italy and France had a global audience of 715.1 million viewers. Click on the '2006 World Cup Final' link below to see the FIFA article that states that number. Nothing else even comes close. +++++++-----------------------++++++++++++++++++++ The above is perhaps true in terms of raw numbers however as the Earth's population continually grows at an exponential and somewhat surprising rate to most peoples realisation, all figures are relative to one another. In directly comparable percentage terms then: The most viewed single event in television viewing history is the broadcast: Elvis Presley: ALOHA FROM Hawaii 1973. This was simultaneously viewed/tuned by 1.67billion individual T.V. sets. In this year 1973, the Earth's total population was 3.93billion compared with April 2009's 6.77billion. The total number of television sets worldwide was estimated then at 3.2billion. Therefore 52.2% of all television sets worldwide were tuned to this one event. It is worth noting that these figures represent the broadcast event at simultaneous transmission, many countries and provinces only picked up the broadcast several days later, most reliable figures available estimate this to be a further 793million sets, therefore totalling 2.46billion or 77% of all televisions on Earth. Assuming half of the T.V. sets had more than one (taken as 2, this measurement method is an industry standard) people viewing them, allowing thus for family viewing, then best estimates put this at a global viewing (at broadcast) figure of 2.51billion people or 64% of the Earth's population viewing the same event at the same moment in time. This record has stood over 35 years and is likely to stand until a suitably epic event occurs.
