Unsurprisingly, a lot of people were watching TV during the snow storm. Comcast’s Xfinity on Demand set a record for concurrent views, with 1.29 million people watching at the same time on Saturday, according to Comcast spokesperson Jamie Debole.

Of the cities affected by the snowstorm, D.C. and Baltimore had the most significant spikes in viewership, up 56 percent from the previous Saturday, compared to 38 percent in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, 40 percent in Boston and Connecticut, and 50 percent in Philadelphia and New Jersey.

Folks in D.C. and Baltimore were introduced to The Martian, while The Intern was the most popular rental movie overall. Game of Thrones, Shameless, and Shades of Blue were the top three viewed shows on demand (nationally, the top three were Shades of Blue, Black Sails, and Game of Thrones).
