Olympics viewership off to rough start

NEW YORK • If there's going to be a surge in viewership interest in the Tokyo Olympics, NBC Universal is still waiting. For three straight nights, viewership for the Tokyo Games has been down more than 30% compared to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016, and the network has been hit by a steady stream of bad news regarding American competitors. The Nielsen company said 16.9 million people watched Sunday night’s coverage on NBC, down 43% from the corresponding night in Rio. Saturday’s audience of 12.6 million was down 39%.
