NBC Olympics 2012NBC may be generating controversy as well as high ratings for its TV coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, but the network’s digital coverage also is attracting unprecedented traffic across NBCOlympics.com, the NBC Olympics Live Extra and NBC Olympics apps. The network claims that there have been 75 million total video streams, 34 million live streams (and counting — more than the entire Beijing Olympics), 744 million page views, and 31.5 million unique users (web only). NBC also reported more than 6 million downloads of its pair of apps. Cable, satellite and telephone TV customers have verified 6.2 million devices either on NBCOlympics.com or on the NBC Olympics Live Extra app — believed to be the most device verifications ever for a single event in TV Everywhere history. There are approximately 100 million multi-channel homes in the U.S.

Olympics streaming has also cut into Netflix’s traffic, as CEO Reed Hastings predicted it would. Web services provider Procera Networks reported that Netflix streaming was down 25% in the U.S. on Sunday. Procera’s VP of global marketing also noted that media companies covering the Olympics on digital platforms, such as Comcast/NBCUniversal and Yahoo are seeing big usage spikes. Cullen said “In the U.S., several networks peaked as high as 34% of overall bandwidth and increased volume by over 100% over the initial two days of events”.

“We believed heading into these Games that if we could surround the consumer with as many touch points as possible — such as live streaming every athletic competition online, on mobile and on tablet — then we could increase consumption and engagement, not only on digital, but on television as well,” said Gary Zenkel, president, NBC Olympics. “The result has been record-setting viewership, traffic and engagement on all of our platforms. Users are averaging 85 streaming minutes on the web and 58 minutes on the app.
