Wow!
26.3 million people tuned-in to see the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday.
It was the top rated summer Olympics closing ceremonies since the 1976 Montreal Games.
The telecast was up 27% from the closing night of the 2004 Athens Games and 38% from Sydney in 2000.
All in all, NBC kicked some major TV ass with the Olympics!
NBC also has the rights to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Ohhhh…ice skating!
