The following content contains the tentative list of the most watched television broadcasts around the world in selected countries, with the corresponding peak viewership (or ratings share) records, the corresponding year of such broadcast, and the mentioned media research organizations tallying nationwide viewership records. Take note, however, that the most watched television broadcast in any of the following nations can also be broadcast simultaneously in other foreign territories for a single year, and may rank into the most watched television broadcasts for such nations as well. Many events have been reported as been watched by large global audiences. These over-estimates occurred at the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer,) the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales〔John Urry. ''Global complexity'', Wiley-Blackwell, 2003 p. 134〕 Michael Jackson's memorial service, and the 2010 rescue of 33 trapped miners in Chile,〔(Chilean mine rescue watched by millions online ), Canadian Broadcasting Corp. 14 October 2010〕 and the world's first ever live entertainment satellite broadcast (for an Elvis Presley show live from Hawaii, titled ''Aloha from Hawaii''). The wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton was predicted to draw two billion viewers, but as it is impossible to accurately gauge total viewers across the globe due to how data is collected, some sources have suggested that the figure was not accurate with one suggesting that it drew a verified audience of 161 million viewers from 47% of the world population. On 20 July 1969, an estimated 530 million people watched the live global broadcast of the first humans ever to walk on the surface of the moon (this constituted around 14% of total population of the world at the time), despite the fact that the first moonwalk took place in the middle of the night in Europe (at 02:56 in Ireland, Portugal and the United Kingdom and 03:56 in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain) and it was not broadcast at all in the Eastern Bloc〔(【引用サイトリンク】script-title=ru:Лунные базы великой Америки )〕 except Romania〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110822233108/http://www.tvr.ro/articol.php?id=66102 )〕 and Poland. The 2011 Cricket World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan is reported to have been watched by about 1 billion people by ''The Guardian'', which if accurate would mean it had more than twice as many viewers as the final, which was watched by 400 million people based on the available data.〔 And the annual Eurovision Song Contest, considered to be one of the world's longest running and most watched reality television franchises, is annually reported to have between 100 and 600 million viewers, depending on the source. According to Telegraph.co.uk, the 6 hour 45 minutes long 2015 Cricket World Cup match between India and Pakistan played on 15 February 2015 was seen by nearly 1 billion people. While on digital platform, the cricket match was seen by nearly 25 million viewers from India creating a new record. IPG independent media agency Initiative Worldwide estimated that 260 million people worldwide watched the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final (the average audience for the broadcast of the game). Six hundred million watched some part of the game (the "reach"). In 2010 another independent firm estimated that 322 million viewers watched the 2006 final on average, with a reach of 638 million. None of these figures match the estimate by event organizers FIFA, a "global cumulative audience" of 715.1 million people.〔("No 1 Sports Event" (press release) ), FIFA, 2007.〕 Despite frequent deliberations of event organizers on increasing such viewership figures, the 2008 Summer Olympics boasts the official world record for the largest global viewership, and the highest peak viewer share in the world for a multi-day television broadcast. It is estimated by Nielsen Media Research that between 4.7 billion and 5 billion individual viewers (or around 70% of the world's 7-billion human population) watched some part of the coverage, including its peak final hour of the live broadcast of the closing ceremony in August 2008. Additionally, ''Idols'' remained as the international television franchise with the largest collective global viewership in the world to date, shown in versions in over 150 countries worldwide and watched by at least 6.5 billion viewers (more than 90% of the world's 7-billion human population). Reality television franchises broadcasts and international sporting events tend to comprise some of the most watched television programs around the world, as tallied by their media research bases. ==National== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of most watched television broadcasts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
