STOCKHOLM — A Toronto man has broken his own world record for nonstop broadcast-television watching, clocking 72 hours in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

Suresh Joachim's previous record was 69 hours, 48 minutes, set in 2005.

Joachim, a Sri Lankan native who lives in Toronto, watched three seasons of the drama series "24" featuring Kiefer Sutherland.

Joachim says he drank between 25 and 30 cups of coffee while watching the shows.
