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.
