That's not an oxymoron.

If before the top show was seen by 90% of all customers, and now each of 20 shows is watched by 5%, it will be comparatively very hard to find someone who has watched the most-viewed show of today despite it being the most watched.

You panned someone for understanding basic math.

The most live viewers of a TV episode was the season finale of MASH in 1983[0] with 106 million.

Unless the population rises to a trillion, it seems hard to imagine there will ever again be so much cultural consciousness directed towards a single show. I do not even know what is on broadcast TV any more.

Less than half the population. So you could pick a random person and say they probably didn’t watch the most popular TV episode.
