-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another night of 2018 Winter Olympics dominance on NBC, of course. This final Tuesday of coverage averaged an approximate 11.5 rating/18 share in households in primetime, peaking in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour with a 13.4/21. One week earlier, the Tuesday Winter Olympics coverage averaged a 13.2/21 in primetime.

On ABC, two more hours of “The Bachelor Winter Games” remained a bust, at a mere 2.3/ 4 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. And that led into a series-low 1.2/ 2 for freshman “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World” at 10 p.m.

Elsewhere, CBS, Fox and The CW featured all repeats.
