NBC easily won on Sunday with its coverage of the “2016 Summer Olympics” from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Unlike previous Games, NBC was not the sole network broadcasting Olympic coverage in prime time; NBCSN (1.168 million viewers) and Bravo (for tennis, which featured Djokovic’s loss to del Potro: 654,000 viewers) also aired action. Nonetheless, the combination of the three networks’ viewership (31.601 million) was still down 12 percent from the 36.047 million NBC alone had drawn with London on July 28, 2012.
