NBC Admits Genocide Games Major Ratings Bust: ‘For Us, It’s Been Difficult. There’s No Way Around This
Breitbart ^ | 02/12/22 | David NG

Posted on 02/12/2022 9:23:55 AM PST by Enlightened1

NBC has publicly addressed its low-rated broadcast of the Genocide Games, with a senior network executive describing the situation as “difficult” while blaming the pandemic for the low level of enthusiasm.

In a conference call with reporters Thursday,  NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua laid out a grim assessment of the past week.

“For us, it’s been difficult. There’s no way around this,” he said, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter.

“The fact that we’ve been able to bring these Games to life during a pandemic with only a six-month window between the two [Olympics], the ratings are — of course we always want to have the ratings better — but the ratings for these Games, as I said, are about where we thought they’d be.”

He blamed COVID restrictions for the lack of “passion and excitement” that typically surrounds the Olympics.

“It’s no secret that athletes in masks, venues without spectators, so much of the passion and excitement, those great moments of Olympic athletes hugging their family and friends and spouses and partners, so much of that magic is just out of necessity not present.”

Bevacqua didn’t appear to address widespread public disgust at NBC for glorifying China and sidestepping the CCP’s numerous human rights atrocities.

As Breitbart News reported, TV ratings for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games have reached catastrophic lows, with NBC on track for lowest-rated Winter Games in history.

NBC is using the Olympics to aggressively push the Peacock streaming service, which has failed to ignite much consumer enthusiasm since it was launched in 2020.

I watched about 15 minutes of mixed doubles curling because my son turned it on. That’s literally all I have watched.

I’d rather watch Snoop Dogg perform at half-time like the rest of America.

? People stay home in a pandemic, so this should drive ratings.

Athlete comes off rink and hugs coach - no mask

Athlete and coach sit feet apart eating for results - masks

Athletes curling - no masks

Coach interacting with curlers - masked

Rules with no logic

Not me. Unless the NFL apologizes for allowing their players to desecrate veterans and other patriots, I won't watch.

The theme for the Beijing Olympics was: “One World, One Dream.”

Think about it. That is the Communist plan. So solly NBC, no watchee.

Pandemic is over around here. Some folks are getting mild cases of the seasonal flu - they call it Omicron for some reason. Folks that have gotten say it’s like having a cold for a few days.
