The Kansas City Chiefs’ conference-championship victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday brought in the biggest AFC Championship viewership of all-time, CBS Sports announced.

An average of more than 55 million viewers tuned in to watch the game, peaking at more than 64 million.

The record-breaking numbers could be attributed to a few things, with a new gridiron fan base hoping to get a glimpse of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift watching from a luxury box in Baltimore.

The Kelce-Swift relationship has spiked television ratings for Chiefs games throughout the season, including more than 50 million tuning in for last weeks’ Kansas City victory over the Buffalo Bills.

CBS streaming service Paramount+ had its most streamed live event ever for the second straight week with consecutive Chiefs games.

CBS’ overall average viewership for the postseason of 45.6 million is its highest since 1998, when playoff football started its current run of airing on the network.

Meanwhile, the NFL announced that the postseason across the Wild Card, Divisional and Conference Championship rounds averaged 38.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched playoffs ever – nine percent up from last year.

In total, 120.4 million viewers tuned in for Championship Sunday – the highest total unduplicated audience since 2016-17.

Baltimore vs Kansas City was the most-watched non-Super Bowl program on CBS in 30 years, since the 1994 Winter Olympics aired on primetime.

The previous record for an NFL conference championship game was the January 2011 AFC Championship between the Steelers and Jets, garnering 54.85 million viewers. Pittsburgh would go on to lose Super Bowl XLV to Green Bay.

The network will air Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, with CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus expecting more than 100 million viewers for the game.

Last year’s Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl was the most-watched ever with an average of 115.1 million viewers.

Breaking News: Serena Williams SHAMES Paris restaurant for turning her and her kids away during 2024 Olympics – and the five-star hotel replies:

The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X to publicly complain about the treatment she received at The Peninsula Hotel on Monday, sharing her annoyance at the way in which her visit went down

 

 

.

‘Yikes,’ Williams wrote. ‘@peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.’

 

 

 

Williams also shared a snap of the sign on the hotel, so that her followers could know which establishment she was talking about.

The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.

Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.

‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’

Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’

Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.

‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.

Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations

 

In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.

 

According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.

 

Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.

As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
