I'm looking for a dataset of TV viewership or ratings over different networks/shows. Specifically I need this for NBC's broadcasting of the Olympics. I've found various articles discussing numbers for different days, but not a single dataset covering all days. Online streaming numbers would also be useful, but not expecting any structured dataset around this.

Here is a dataset containing viewership and rating numbers by day for the first week of Olympic games in Rio this year. It also contains data from London 2012 for comparison. https://www.datazar.com/file/fcf5766ab-2c8a-4ced-8b4b-a7381d9cab09

I feel that it will be much easier to find more ratings like this, if not more extensive ones, in a few weeks or so.

Full disclosure: I work at Datazar (A collaborative data library where), where this file is being hosted.

  • Thanks for providing that data. It's a good start, but I'm also interested in the other days, including the opening ceremony (Aug 5). Everything I've seen so far has been a summarizing article. I was hoping there exists some raw data feed, maybe something Nielsen would provide.

You could also look at what sites are being downloaded off torrent sites and news groups with Python http://www.tvoverlord.com/ library
