PM: The 2022 Winter Olympics that wrapped up in China over the weekend have been a ratings disaster for NBC, leaving the major network questioning its $7.75 billion investment that gave it exclusive US media rights to the Games through 2032.
The New York Times called the Olympic Games “a joyless spectacle,” while other media adjectives include “the low bar of avoiding total disaster.”
According to the Associated Press, through Tuesday, an average of 12.2 million watched the Olympics in primetime on NBC, cable, or its Peacock streaming service, a 42-percent dip from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
“Only 10 million watched NBC alone, a 47-percent drop from 2018, and through early last week, it was down 57 percent in the critical 25-54 age demographic from the Seoul games,” Fox News reported, noting the Super Bowl viewership boost NBC got from airing the Olympics right after the network aired the game. more
A wise man once said:
I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set
Frank had ’em pegged almost a half century ago!!
That’s right, folks – don’t touch that dial!
I didn’t watch 1 Event.
NOT 1.
First time ever.
I am actually proud of myself.
Kcir – ditto 🙂
When Lindsey Vonn put the mouth on President Trump in 2018 we tuned out the Olympics for good. Korea is 17 hours ahead of the west coast. The media had all that time to edit out her comment but they neglected to do so. Too bad NBC. Suck it up you worthless commies.
PLUMB FORGOT TO GIVE A DAMN!
Actually the Chinks got what they demanded, no audience.
And the IOC banned the Russians who competed anyhow, somehow, and the whole thing stunk like Kamalala’s crotch.
So sorry, I just don’t give a shirt!
How did I miss it? Oh no. I missed curling?
The what? Oh, I don’t watch teevee, it’s only used for spreading propaganda and fear these days, maybe someone else can tell you about whatever’s on there, I don’t know and I don’t care…
I actually did not know who won men’s hockey so after my earlier post I checked into it.
Finland – gold Slovakia – bronze ROC – Silver ????
Who the fuck is ROC I though?
Republic of Czech? – NO
Rep. of ChYnA? – NO
I actually had to look it up:
ROC = Russian Olympic Committee. (I Had No Idea.)
Anyway, Congrats Canada on your 6th place finish after spending 2 years locked in bedrooms playing Nintendo “Ice Hockey” as you Prime Minister & Premiers kept you soft.
The rest of the world kept Playing, Except Australia.
They were Jerking off kangaroos instead.
I do not know of one person that watched.
These Games Were “Barely” Watchable. The Disdain For the Athletes With Their T.V. Dinners Was Appalling. The IOC Should Apologize To the Athletes For There Deplorable Often Sad “Living” Conditions !
Lolol
