TEAM USA WOMEN'S HOCKEY GOLD MEDAL VICTORY IS MOST WATCHED LATE-NIGHT SHOW IN NBCSN HISTORY

Overtime & Shootout of Women's Hockey Final Was Also Simulcast on NBC

NBC Ranks #1 in Primetime for 70th Consecutive Olympic Night

Women's Figure Skating Live Tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and NBCSN

STAMFORD, Conn. - February 22, 2018 - Team USA's thrilling shootout victory over Canada in the women's hockey gold medal game on Wednesday ranks as the most watched late-night program in NBCSN history (since 2003).

The hockey game registered a Total Audience Delivery average of 3.7 million viewers, which included a live NBC simulcast of overtime and the shootout, as well as live streaming by NBC Sports Digital. The NBCSN-only telecast delivered 2.9 million viewers, which is the largest audience ever for the network in the 11 p.m.-2:15 a.m. ET late-night window.

In addition, more than 525,000 uniques watched the live stream of the U.S.-Canada women's gold medal game to rank as NBC Sports Digital's fifth-largest hockey audience ever (behind only four games from the Sochi Olympics, which featured more streaming-friendly morning and afternoon ET game times).

NBC's Wednesday primetime PyeongChang Olympic telecast was by far the most watched show of the night - marking the 70th consecutive night that an NBC Olympics presentation has topped primetime. This streak began with Day 14 of the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Last night's NBC/NBCSN viewership peaked at 17.9 million viewers from 10-10:15 p.m. ET, for women's alpine skiing.
