NBCSN Posts Best Month Ever & On Pace to Rank as #1 Sports Network in Total Day

STAMFORD, Conn. - February 24, 2018 - With NBC's broadcast of the Closing Ceremony for the XXIII Olympic Winter Games tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, NBCUniversal will wrap up the Best Feb Ever - an unprecedented convergence of the two most anticipated and dominant events in American television that resulted in massive multiplatform consumption.

"While these Olympic Games will once again be profitable for NBC Sports Group, they also created major benefits for the rest of our portfolio, including NBC News, NBC Entertainment, Universal theme parks, our many cable networks, and our owned television stations and affiliate partners," said Mark Lazarus, Chairman of NBC Broadcasting and Sports.

In this new age of media consumption, the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics propelled NBCUniversal to a new standard of dominance. NBCU's average primetime television viewership for Super Bowl Sunday and Winter Games coverage (26.9 million viewers, through Thurs., Feb. 22) nearly tripled the combined total of the other broadcast networks (9.4 million for ABC, CBS and FOX).

On February 4, NBC televised the Philadelphia Eagles' thrilling victory over the defending champion New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. Just four days later, America's sporting focus shifted more than 6,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean to the PyeongChang Olympics. Never before had one network televised both mega-events within days of each other.

Since Super Bowl Sunday, more than 229 million Americans tuned into the networks of NBCUniversal - far surpassing all other media companies. Millions more streamed the action live on NBCSports.com, NBCOlympics.com, and the NBC Sports app, while even more experienced the events on a multitude of social media platforms.
