NBC Olympics Torched Its Monday Night Competition

And digital delivered its best day ever

Final live plus same-day numbers for NBC's Monday night Olympics coverage are in, and linear viewership remained down from 2012 and 2008. The network delivered 29.8 million total prime-time viewers Monday, an 8.5 percent decline from the first Monday of the London Olympics in 2012 and a 4 percent decline from the first Monday of the 2008 Beijing Games.

That's not particularly good, but it's also not as bad as the declines of Rio's previous nights.
