logoNielsen updates NBC NFL viewership
Nielsen has reprocessed the viewership for NBC’s four NFL games from Week 1-3 of the season.

logoDaytona
NASCAR Cup Series racing from Daytona averaged a 1.7 rating and 3.12 million viewers on NBC a week ago Saturday, per the “Big Data + Panel” methodology that is the official Nielsen currency, and a 1.8 and 3.51 million under the old “panel-only” metric NASCAR now publicizes for its races. Read more
