Wow.
Something tells me Betman wishes the Winter Olympics were in North America every year.
Also keep in mind that NBC is the 3rd or 4th rated network (non olympics) currently among the big 3+1 networks.
Quote:
To put the numbers in perspective, Sunday's game drew a higher overnight rating than every World Series game since 2004 (including every game of Yankees/Phillies last year), every NBA Finals telecast since 1998, and every NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four game since at least '98.
Excluding the NFL, the 17.6 overnight for the game is the second-highest of the year for any sporting event, behind only the Texas/Alabama BCS National Championship Game in January (18.2).
