Report Copyright Violation | NBC Facing “Advertiser Anxiety” Over 49% Decline in Olympics Viewership Oh no, so sad... ---------- NBC's Tokyo Olympics coverage spurs 'advertiser anxiety' as viewership continues to declinePeacock Network’s costly event shed 49% of viewers from 2016 Rio GamesBy Brian Flood | Fox News NBC’s primetime coverage of the Tokyo Olympics continued to spiral downward on Monday, averaging 14.7 million viewers for a 49% drop compared to the equivalent night from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
Monday’s telecast also shed 53% of viewers from coverage of the first weeknight primetime during the 2012 London Olympics and declines were even larger among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 18-49.
Variety senior TV editor Brian Steinberg wrote that the drop has spurred "advertiser anxiety" which hasn’t been eased by the news that legendary American gymnast Simone Biles withdrew from team competition and fan favorite Naomi Osaka was eliminated from tennis medal competition.
Steinberg quoted a media buying executive who said the early viewership "clearly are not what NBC, our agency or our clients were looking for" from costly investment.
"This executive said early viewership trends were ‘disappointing,’" Steinberg wrote...
"Fox News Primetime" host Tammy Bruce on Monday tore into the "woke" U.S. athletes who appear far more concerned about scoring political points with leftist ideologues than they do with their performance during this year's Olympic Games in Tokyo.
"Failure, misery, resentment, victimhood, hatred for the country… that’s what fuels the left … and it’s penetrating nearly every corner of society," Bruce said in her opening monologue.
"Ask yourself… could this shift in attitude and a shift away from national pride be present in team USA's stumbling start at the Olympic Games?"
Bruce pointed to the poor performance of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, who were shut out in their opener with Sweden. Team USA's men’s basketball team, headed up by "rabid America-bashing leftist Gregg Popovich," got beaten by France, marking the first time in 16 years that they've lost their opener, Bruce said.
"I contend, for some, this is the conscious and subconscious result of choosing resentment and grievance over pride and optimism … translating into an embarrassment to even be an American and to represent our nation," she told viewers...SOURCE: [ link to www.foxnews.com (secure)] |

Then don't pretend it's real
Don't broadcast it
Don't even have your games of any sorts of sports if the people and crowd are not allowed to attend because of all these tyrannical lockdowns and laws |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: NBC Facing “Advertiser Anxiety” Over 49% Decline in Olympics Viewership Today, all professional sport is about money, cheating and political posturing...
Make as much money as possible.
Roll around on the ground, trying to get the opposing player sent off (Neymar, and the rest of the French football team), put the ball into the goal with your hand, hitting it twice if necessary (Maradonna, Thierri Henri and the rest of the French football team).
Fuck anything in a skirt (every football team, including the US women's team)
Cocaine? Gimme more, more, more.
Now, politiking, taking a knee to show submission to 3 black, marxist, lesbian terrorists who will spit on your grave as soon as look at you, but have lots of money and houses.
Now, giving up in competitions because, well, woke mental health problems, poor me, me, me.
What do the advertisers expect?
Why would anyone want to watch this dysfunctional rabble?
It's over for professional, televised sports. |
