At NBC, the Thrill Is Gone Along With the Audience

From The New York Times:

NBC got its first taste of the difference between the Olympics and anything else it can offer in prime time: its audience Monday night dropped about 25 million from the network’s Olympic highs.

And if anyone deserved a ratings gold medal on the night, it was the chef Gordon Ramsay on Fox. With none of the Olympic hype, Mr. Ramsay’s two reality shows beat NBC from 8 to 10 p.m., with his returning series, “Hell’s Kitchen,” the dominant show of the night.
