Michael Jackson’s Funeral Draws 31 Million Viewers
Published by Starr Rhett on Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 11:00 am.
Michael Jackson received a homecoming fit for a king. Not only did friends, family and fans overwhelmingly pack LA’s Staples Center to pay their last respects, but 31.1 million U.S. viewers watched coverage of the public memorial service, according to Nielsen.
The memorial service was carried live from approximately 1p to 4p ET on 18 broadcast and cable networks with a combined household rating of 20.6. The participating networks were ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Telefutura, Telemundo, Univision, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, HLN, BET, E!, MTV, VH1, VH1 Classic, TV Guide Network and TV One. Jackson’s memorial coverage in the U.S. is on the heels of Princess Diana’s 1997 funeral, which totaled 33.2 million, and also behind Ronald Reagan’s funeral in 2004, which got 35 million viewers.
It still hasn’t registered in my brain yet, that Michael Jackson is gone. His presence, talent and humanitarianism will sincerely be missed. At least his contributions will live on.
It’s sad!I’m speechless!He will forever b missed.R.I.P. MJ!LUV U!
I just can’t believed he is gone. He had a nice voice on him and he was a a terrific dancing. But he will always be in my heart.
i will miss the king of pop and his music will live on in the hearts of all of us it is still a shock but god knows best so sleep on sweet prince see you in the morning light
jackson was a nice person i always have him in my heart
he will always be living to me to his parent u had a son
was so kind. to his sister’s brother’s he always talk about
them.
i love him and am going to miss him
Where do I start….MJ we will all miss you! The family was so caring and they had so much heart and soul. This is a real family and they showed america on Tuesday. I felt all of their pain, tears and sorrow. Why does the media always turn events in to a color war. I don’t do holiday, but I would like to see a Micheal Jackson day.
Michael Jackson was a wonderful, beautiful, and kind person. He will be deeply missed. May God be with the Jackson family.
Michael Jackson was the gratest entertainer of all times and to see him go like that really put an impact on the human race.MJ will be forever the king and the most remembered person. Look at the facts on other good entertainers, he’s better than Elvis Presley.
R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Michael was my inspiration, his songs made great impact on me n wudn,t go on a day without listenin to his song “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” which was my favourite. He’s done with his work on earth and God has called him , may he keep him safe in his bossom. Till we meet again Michael i love you n you wud always b in my heart. R.I.P MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON
