==Broadcasting==
[[NFL on CBS|CBS]] televised the game in the United States with [[play-by-play|play-by-play announcer]] [[Pat Summerall]] and [[color commentator]] [[Tom Brookshier]]. [[Brent Musburger]] hosted CBS's pregame coverage with the ''[[The NFL Today|NFL Today]]'' crew of [[Irv Cross]] (who joined Musburger in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room), [[Jayne Kennedy]] (the only Super Bowl she would be part of covering for CBS), [[Jimmy Snyder (sports commentator)|Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder]] and [[Jack Whitaker]]. One of the guest analysts for the network's pregame show was former Oakland Raiders coach [[John Madden]]; he impressed CBS executives so much that he eventually replaced Brookshier (who was promoted to play by play) as lead game analyst in 1981. [[George Allen (American football coach)|George Allen]] also served as a second guest analyst. Filing remote reports from bars in the respect team's home markets were [[Paul Hornung]] in The Ginger Man in [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]] (briefly joined by Jayne Kennedy's ''NFL Today'' predecessor [[Phyllis George]] and her then-husband, newly inaugurated [[Governor of Kentucky|Kentucky Governor]] [[John Y.

The famous [[Coca-Cola]] commercial (titled "[[Hey Kid, Catch!]]") in which [[Joe Greene|"Mean" Joe Greene]] gives a boy his game jersey aired during CBS' telecast of the game. However, it is technically not viewed as a Super Bowl ad since it actually debuted on October 1, 1979, not during the day of the game.<ref>{{cite web|title=Best Super Bowl commercials|url=https://www.espn.com/page2/s/list/sbcommercials.html|publisher=[[ESPN]]|access-date=January 22, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Siegel|first=Alan|title='Hey kid, catch!
