NBC Station Says Viewers are Bored with the Olympics
/NBC affiliate WBOY (Clarksburg, WV) posted a story that says viewers have grown tired with the Olympics.
The NBC station which is airing the Olympics posted this on their website:
"Olympic fatigue may be setting in. NBC was set up for a big night on Wednesday, with a broadcast full of exciting, medal-winning performance by Americans and an Alpine skiing competition featuring both Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin . Yet the 16.4 million viewers who watched NBC, NBCSN and streaming services in prime time was the second lowest of the Olympics so far, and down 19 percent from the corresponding night in Sochi. For NBC alone, the drop was 30 percent. The skiing competition wasn't decided until after 1:30 a.m. on the U.S. East Coast, and the gripping gold-medal hockey game between the U.S. women and Canada lasted past 2 a.m. NBC estimated 3.7 million people watched the game live."
Why is an NBC station that is airing the Games, dissing the games?
The sales manger might not be real happy with the newsroom right now.
Just saying...
