NBC Olympic ratings slip on second straight night
NBC’s prime time Nagano coverage fell to a 17.5 national rating for 7:30 to 10:15 p.m. as Nielsen measured only part of the program. The six day average dropped to 19.5, still above CBS’s 1998 Nagano ratings, aided by Nielsen measuring from first ad to last. Nielsen said the change came at NBC’s request months earlier.
