The Broncos took the gold, silver, platinum and any other metals/medals you've got in terms of local TV ratings Thursday night, leaving the Olympics in the dust.
The Broncos-Bears game trounced the primetime swimming, running, diving and whatnot on the Olympics by more than double the share (or percent of viewing audience.) The football audience started strong and got weaker, while the local Olympics audience started very weak and built through the night.
From 6:30-9:45 p.m. Thursday when they were head-to-head, the Olympics on NBC, locally Channel 9, managed a 7.5 rating and 20.9 share while the Broncos' preseason opener on KTVD-Channel 20 (Channel 9's sister station) triumphed with a 12.3 rating and 35.8 share. The ratings, based on the 25-54 demographic, are based on preliminary overnights; finals will be reported Friday afternoon.
In short, 203,598 adults watched the Broncos while 124,182 watched the Olympics.
