Preliminary Ratings: February 15, 2014

There really was nothing on TV Saturday night, except the Winter Olympics, and it posted the lowest ratings of the game's first 10 days.

The Olympics drew just 16.6 million viewers and a 4.2 rating in Adults 18-49. It should still be good enough to place 7th on the week in both total viewers and in the demo ratings.

The other three networks could not combine their numbers and even be competitive against the Olympics. Collectively, during any hour, they generated less then 6 million viewers and under a 1.5 demo rating. CBS, ABC and FOX should have just given the night to the local affiliates so as to not have the night go AGAINST them in the weekly numbers.
 

Preliminary Network Averages:

ABC - 2.3 million viewers, 0.5 rating in Adults 18-49

CBS - 2.0 million viewers, 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49

FOX - 1.0 million viewers, 0.3 rating in Adults 18-49

NBC - 16.6 million viewers, 4.2 rating in Adults 18-49
