SATURDAY UPDATE: You can see Saturday's preliminary 5.5 in the chart below. In the prelims, the Games basically took the same Opening Ceremony -> first night drop as in 2012, and remained more than a third off of the 2012 pace. (It also fell much farther behind 2004, which held up a lot better post-Ceremony.)
WHAT MATTERS:
- The Rio Summer Olympics kicked off in slow fashion (at least by Summer Olympics standards), with a preliminary 7.5/8.2/7.3 average for the three primetime hours of Opening Ceremony coverage. After big spikes to 10.3 in 2008 and 12.2 in 2012, it looks like this rating has reverted all the way to below 2004 (8.0) levels, and down more than a third from 2012. Like most things on linear TV, it's skewing older, so it did beat 2004 in total viewers (27.3 million to 25.4 million).
- Because the NBC coverage is tape-delayed in all time zones, there shouldn't be massive, football-esque adjustments from prelims to finals. In fact, in 2012, the opening Friday actually adjusted down from a 12.4 prelim to a 12.2 final, while most other nights adjusted up by less than a point. This one may have eroded more in the post-primetime portion since the US team appeared relatively early in the Parade of Nations (since its name starts with an 'E' in Portuguese).
- ABC was the only other network with original programming, What Would You Do? (0.6) and 20/20 (0.6).
