Fast Demo 2018 Feb 18.SUN

NBC:  The WINTER OLYMPICS had a preliminary 3.6 for the night, below the parallel nights from earlier Olympics:  2014 Sochi 4.9, 2010 Vancouver 5.9, 2006 Turin 5.5, 2002 Salt Lake City 9.3.  It was also significantly below last Sunday’s 5.4.

CBS:  60 MINUTES dipped 0.1 to 0.7, then BIG BROTHER: CELEBRITY EDITION held last Sunday’s 1.2.  Reruns at 0.4/0.4 followed.

ABC:  AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS lost 0.1 to 0.9, then after a pair of 0.7/0.7 CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD reruns, SHARK TANK was down 0.1 to 0.7.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.4-0.7 (although there’s a good chance the preliminary 0.7 for the 7PM BROOKLYN NINE-NINE rerun will come down in finals).

THE BACHELOR and more BIG BROTHER: CELEBRITY EDITION face the Olympics tonight.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
