NEW YORK (AP) — While NBC's prime-time television ratings are down, fans are clearly seeking out the Olympics on other devices.
The network said Tuesday it had surpassed 2 billion minutes of live streamed action from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Not only does that comfortably surpass the 818 million streamed minutes for the London Games, it beats by 500 million the number for all previous Olympics combined.
Within the first three days of the Olympics, 80 percent of people who watched the games said they used at least one other device to follow what was going on.
