Super Bowl Draws Crowd of International Media
While the National Football League's Championship Game, the Super Bowl, is played in the United States by U.S. teams, it has worldwide appeal. This year's game in Miami, Florida will be broadcast live to 232 countries and territories including China, Russia, Belgium, Hungary, Japan and France. VOA's David Byrd spoke to some of the International media covering Sunday's game, and reports the NFL's audience continues to grow. More than 3,000 media members are credentialed for the Super Bowl. But listen in on one of the press conferences this week, and you are just as likely to hear Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish or Hungarian as you are to hear English.
Richard Farago is with Hungary's Sport One television. He says that the NFL Championship game might keep a few people up late, but the League's fan base is growing.
