Sunday Final Nationals: Rio 2016 Concludes on NBC with Lowest-Rated Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony on Record

While the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics was NBCUniversal’s second most-viewed non-domestic Olympics ever with an average of 27.5 million viewers thru 16 nights (Source: NBC Sports Group), its conclusion — the Closing Ceremony — dipped to its lowest ratings ever (on record) for a Summer Olympics (previous mark was Sydney’s 10.8 in 2000) and was the least-watched Closing Ceremony since Sydney 2000 (16.7 million).

A special preview of “The Voice” didn’t get a boost from the Olympics, drawing similar to its usual in-season figures.
