As you know I work for an NBC competitor but in this case my hat is off to them. They've done a good job getting this complex info out and being fairly transparent about it, although I do think they're being just a bit evasive with the time spent viewing online numbers.<br><br>I can probably get you those figures for average time spent viewing the Olympics on TV, at least on NBC Prime. I'll look into it tomorrow. Thanks Robert. As you know I work for an NBC competitor but in this case my hat is off to them.
