Boring...
The game was on at like 1 AM, wasn’t it?
PC ruins everything it touches.
Great game. Unfortunately, it was on at 11:30pm EST.
NBC turned people off early so there was no longer interest by the viewers.
What did NBC think would happen? Tomorrow night, the entire 1980 US mens hockey team could show up, (Brooks included) and it would still generate a big yawn.
NBC’s wounds are self inflicted and will carry over to every sports broadcast for the rest of the year. Time for advertisers to renegotiate fees. On the bright side, I don’t care.
Really, gold medal or no, people didn’t want to watch hockey being played at the level of good (but not great) 17/18 year old boys?
Shocking.
I remember when I was a kid and Dorothy Hammill was skating...everyone was talking about her. She was a bonafide superstar before she won gold. Afterward every boy my age had a crush and every girl got her haircut.
Ratings and viewership. Could it be all the Olympians who stated that they were going to represent the USA but not its president that turned some people off?
Get Woke, Go Broke
NBC telegraphed early and often that they were going to take every opportunity to lecture the audience about SJW claptrap. Forewarned, I have not watched their broadcasts.
I don’t need NBC Sports. It is a whole big world out there with lots of fun things to do.
I turned on during the OT - stayed with it until the last 5 mins or so when even this non fan could see how well matched the two teams were. By then I was wondering how many OTs they would need etc. so I just bailed c. midnight here - MT.
Didn’t know about the shootout process but sounds like even that took several tries. To summarize, I have to think that time of day was big factor in ratings loss.
Terrible coverage and too many events.
I watched the first period, then went to bed. A great game during that period, even though the US team failed to score during two PP.
As soon as I learned that NBC was shoving their homosexual agenda down our throats I tuned out for the entire Olympics. Have followed a few results online but have not watched ONE MINUTE of NBC coverage. To hell with them!
But what about the gays??? Didn’t humanity take a giant prissy leap forward??
When the press uses the Olympics to praise a murderous communist regime, to promote homosexuality, and to denigrate the Vice-President, you can expect many conservative viewers to tune out.
Watching NBC coverage. I was under the impression one had to be LBGT and/or a Trump hater to be on this year’s USA Olympic team, so I quit watching.
Was it even on the main NBC channel? It seems that all of the hockey has bern put on NBCSN which I would have to pay extra to see. I’m a couple of night behind fast fotwarding past commercials, commentary and figure skating so I don’t know if I have it recorded.
Maybe people aren’t watching because it’s homosexuals on parade bashing Trump and the USA.
