Wow, what a surprise.
To remind you, here was my comment back on August 6th,
The 8pm hour used to be an encore of Best Time Ever's premiere episode from Tuesday, Sept 15th, so don't be shocked if they revert back to that if BTE does well on the 15th. Not sure about Human Arrow yet, so I'm looking at Datelines more than Sports Specials for demographic guidance.

NHL Regular Season Games on NBC Formally Announced

Message: The 2015-2016 NHL REGULAR SEASON package is now booked on the following dates: 11/27, 1/1, 1/24, 2/7, 2/14, 2/21, 2/28, 3/13, 4/3, and 4/9. Please see contingencies on each date for details and impact to other dayparts. Please advise clearance.
NBC is making the day after Thanksgiving and New Year's Day games a ritual. LPM markets up north probably have great numbers to show for these games. Of course, neither are in sweeps in diary markets, so a lot of spots in smaller markets are sold on faith in the estimates.
RatingBook.com clients have more than 320 individual lines of NBC Sports inventory, each with a customized PAV-based audience estimate with unique rationale text that goes way beyond "auto-rationale." And now they include all of the above games.
Our clients know if a future NBC program in their inventory is truly scheduled by NBC, because there's a date in the actual title. After watching NBC schedule sports for nearly two decades, we have a pretty good idea what to expect in future months and years.
With 2016 turning into the Gold Rush of issue advertising, local stations need to glean every available spot they have to sell, and to get the most money they can for it. We're here to help.

Rio Olympics in August 2016 Posted
This morning, APT shows nearly all of the Summer Olympics schedule listed in Contingencies.
Summer Olympics have run out of sweeps for quite a while, and using twenty year old diary demographics has its limitations. Here's a place where local peoplemeters are very helpful.
It does not appear as if NBC has listed the Opening or Closing ceremonies yet, but I'll place them in client inventories anyway.. the Opening Ceremony is the highest rated event of the Olympics.
Opinion:
By the way, if your diary-market clients are asking you to guarantee rating points for Olympic events, find another client... the halo effect of Olympics out of sweep cannot be measured in diary markets, and you have a year to find someone willing to pay for the entire suite of benefits that comes with Olympic advertising.
