Super-Bowl-47-New-Orleans

 

 

This February 3rd the National Football League will be live streaming Super Bowl XLVII on CBS. Last year the steaming event on NBC had around 2.1 million unique viewers. We wonder if the numbers for the upcoming Super Bowl XLVII to handled by CBS instead of NBC will get more visitors.  Also how is mobile going to be handled. We know that Verizon subscribers can watch it on their smartphone via the the NFL Mobile app but what about everyone else? Will CBS Sports app stream the game on the iOS?  Side note: The NFL’s own website will also stream the big game.
