NEW YORK (AP) - Some 31.1 million people in the United States watched the Michael Jackson memorial on television, with millions more catching video streams on their computers.

But it did offer insight on how the memorial compared to other events: President Barack Obama's inauguration in January was seen by 38 million people on TV, and the "American Idol" finale in May had 28.9 million viewers.
