If recent trends continue, itll only get worse.
...
NBC* paid $963 million for the rights to air the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, a 24 percent jump over the $775 million it paid for the last Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
...
Viewership declines arent really surprising, as similar trends have unfolded across the TV landscape and viewers opt for on-demand and online entertainment alternatives. Even football and the Super Bowl considered the last holdouts where advertisers could guarantee huge live audiences would be watching are not immune.

Curling is like hockey in slow motion,
only without all the violence that makes
hockey entertaining in the first place.
It looks like bowling.
Id collude with her and welcome the investigation. Yeah, I did it! And Id do it again!
Just another black ‘resister’ of Hillary's creating the great divide among the races.
With brooms.
Last night I watched curling. Very soothing. Always rocks me off to sleep.
I find Womens Luge compelling. What would inspire an attractive, intelligent young woman to lie down on a Flexible Flyer and then hurl herself down a bobsled track at 80 MPH?
The hockey tournament is going to be a train-wreck of second and third-rate talent.

There’s a black athlete at the WINTER games?
I HATE that. Love racing, love my horses, and for the last several years have to see Johnny WEIRD, such an obvious FRUIT. Blatant promotion/propaganda by NBC.
Disgusting. Hate having this on in front of my son.
I guess so. Is that unusual?
“You can also go to nbcolympics.com and watch the events”
I can’t get anything to play, either on a laptop or on a PS4.
I don’t blame you for that at all. Just like I watched NFL games this year because I was born near Philly and the Eagles were playing good. We never made landfall in the ROK but were close enough to fire if ordered in 1969 after Lil’ Kim’s grand daddy had one of our electronic spy planes shot down. Everyone in our crew got the Korean Expeditionary Medal but it doesn’t appear in the service records.
“Perhaps the IOC should start webcasting its own events”
are you kidding? and lose the billion dollars NBC paid for broadcasting rights? If people had to pay per view for webcasting, almost no one would watch, and there’d be near zero revenue ...
“Everyone in our crew got the Korean Expeditionary Medal but it doesnt appear in the service records.”
Have you talked to the Board for Correction of Military Records?
After short-stroking the gay skater vs VEEP for a couple of days, they should not be surprised when people tune out.
They love to lecture us dumb rubes, but us dumb rubes do not enjoy being lectured to.
The last thing I need is to listen to twenty hours about who is sleeping with which sex. Unless they intend to broadcast the sex, it is not relevant.
You might need a specific video player, I don’t know. I don’t have a PS4. Sorry, I’m not real tech savvy,.
You wont miss much unless you are a fan of Imagine by John Lennon. They sung it while I was in my gym lockeroom and they had them on live here in Canada.
“The Olympics are on?”
My first response, too. Olympics? When? Where? Well, I could care less. In other news, President Trump’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast was fantastic.
That’s what happens when you get on your knees!
Yes.
As rare as a black hockey player in itself...for the same basic reasons. Never seem to understand cold.
