Michael Jackson’s memorial service drew a huge audience nationally, but that’s only part of the story.
The event, which commanded virtually unprecedented worldwide interest, was watched in the U.S. by an average aud of 30.92 million viewers. This Nielsen estimate reflects the 19 national broadcast and television networks showing the memorial, which aired from roughly 1-4 p.m. ET.
By comparison, Princess Diana’s funeral, shown early on a Saturday in 1997 averaged 33.3 million viewers in the U.S., and the burial of President Reagan on a Friday night in 2004 averaged 35.1 million.
It’s impossible, of course, to accurately gauge total viewership for such an event, as millions watched online or in other venues not tracked by Nielsen such as airports or bars. Also, large-scale viewings were held throughout the country in places including Jackson’s Gary, Ind., hometown and outside Harlem’s Apollo Theater in New York.
And as something of the first worldwide cultural event in recent years, a significant amount of viewing was done on other platforms.
Concert promoter AEG made the feed of “Michael Jackson: The Farewell” available via satellites to TV organizations around the world. And viewers in some 200 countries and territories were able to see the memorial on the international BBC World News.

Of course it was also on every channel. Princess Diana still had more. But with how advanced computers are these days probably even.

Re: 31 Million People Watch Michael Jackson Tribute
I saw on the news before the tribute that they where expecting at least 1 billion to watch, but I don't know if that included streams and everything, but either way 31 million is alot, though I kind of expected more.
