AFTERNOON UPDATE: The WINTER OLYMPICS stayed at 6.6 in final numbers. The only change in last night’s other fresh programming was a 0.1 drop in the 8PM airing of DADS to 1.1.

Last night’s Winter Olympic coverage from Sochi on NBC averaged a preliminary 6.4 adult 18-49 rating from 8-11 pm. Events last night included: Women’s Super Combined, Men’s Moguls, and Men’s 1500m Short Track. If NBC excludes the 8:00 half hour (if it held national commercials until 8:30 pm), the nightly rating will be a 6.6 adult […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: THE OLYMPICS adjusted up to 6.5 last night, still below the parallel night at Turin 2006 and farther behind the North American 2002/2010 games.

This is well below the 7.5 rating on the same night in Turin and even slightly below the relatively weak night in Vancouver (7.0). Last night’s coverage featured: Team Ladies’ Free Skate & Ice Dance, Men’s Downhill, […]
Skiers and skaters couldn’t beat walkers. NBC: See Mitch Metcalf’s Skedball report for Sunday’s WINTER OLYMPICS analysis. The games scored 6.9 in preliminary primetime 18-49 numbers. AMC: Although THE WALKING DEAD had fewer total viewers than the Olympics (15.8M to 25.4M), it walloped the athletes in 18-49s with a gigantic 8.2 in that demo. […]
International box office for 2013 releases through February 9, 2014. Frozen now has Despicable Me 2 in its sights, after passing both Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug in recent weeks.
