'Person Of Interest' Creates Most, Promo Was Highest-Rated Super Bowl Spot

That's right, CBS' in-house promo for "Person Of Interest" attracted the biggest audience during CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl Sunday night, according to WPP's Kantar Media Audiences unit. The promo, one of 42 CBS aired for a variety of programming during its black-out-delayed and elongated coverage, edged out a paying advertiser -- Samsung's "Next Big Thing" spot, which was the second highest-rated unit, according to Kantar.
