NEW YORK — NBC's Golden Globes broadcast shined a little brighter in the ratings this year, according to Nielsen numbers released Monday.
"The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards" had 14 percent more viewers than last year's show. The three-hour shindig won its time slot and drew 16.9 million viewers, beating an audience of 14.9 million viewers in 2009.
But even with the audience upswing, viewership remained far below the biggest year for the show. In 2004, 26.8 million viewers tuned in.
