2006 Olympics Looking to Be Worst Ever

Falling to Fox and ABC programming three out of four nights in a row last week, it is increasingly clear that this year's Winter Olympics on NBC will be the lowest-rated games in Olympic history, writes Media Life. The 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics, which averaged 21.5 million total viewers over 16 nights, currently ranks as the lowest rated Olympics. The Torino Games have averaged 21.1 million total viewers per night.
