Sunday night’s NBC/NBCSN average of 25.7 million viewers dominated the TV competition – nearly tripling the combined 9.5 million primetime viewers for ABC, CBS and FOX. The NBC-only 22.8 million viewers in the 7-11 p.m. ET primetime window topped the other broadcast networks by 140 percent — marking NBC’s most dominant Winter Games Sunday night ever (people meter history, since Sept. 1987).

Sunday night’s viewership on NBC/NBCSN peaked at 29.7 million viewers from 9:45-10 p.m. ET, highlighted by the women’s free skate in the team figure skating event.

The top ten markets for NBC/NBCSN in prime time were:

Only five days into the PyeongChang Olympics, NBC Sports Digital has established a Winter Games record with 445 million live streaming minutes through Monday afternoon – topping the 420 million live streaming minutes for the full 2014 Sochi Olympics.

NBC Sports Digital delivered an average minute audience of 309,000 for Sunday night’s coverage – the best primetime competition figure for PyeongChang to date.

NBCSN averaged 3.0 million primetime viewers Sunday night – the network’s best viewership in the 7-11 p.m. window since 2015 (3.1 million for the NASCAR Cup Series Race in Bristol on August 22, 2015).
