The hard-hitting action and on-field heroics have also had a strong multicultural impact—especially among Hispanic viewers, who, according to the Nielsen third-quarter Total Audience Report, spend an average of nearly 110 hours per month tuning in to live and time-shifted TV and represent more than $1 trillion in spending power. The report also found that live/time-shifted television reached nearly 49 million Hispanic viewers monthly during that same quarter – about 17 percent of the total U.S.
On the heels of Carolina Panthers Coach Ron Rivera becoming only the second Latino head coach in NFL history to make it to a Super Bowl, a recent Nielsen analysis looked at the Hispanic NFL viewing audience.
The deep-dive found trends in viewing within that demographic itself based on language dominance – Hispanics that use and rely on either English or Spanish as a main way to communicate. In fact, while 2015 regular season NFL games averaged about 1.7 million Hispanic viewers tuning in, representing a 17 percent increase since the 2012 season, Spanish-dominant viewers accounted for 25 percent of viewers in this demographic.
There has been a steady upward traction among NFL viewing of Spanish-dominant viewers. Average viewership for regular season NFL games among this demographic has increased 28 percent over the last five years.
In terms of the big game, the analysis looked at the aggregated average viewership of the last five Super Bowls (from 2011-2015) and found that while an average of 11.2 million viewers are Hispanic, or about 10 percent of the total average viewership, Spanish dominant viewers represent about a third of that – nearly 3.4 million viewers!
