NBC TV, which broadcast the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in the United States, announced that the number of viewers was about 17 million, a significant decrease from the previous time.
NBC TV announced on the 24th that the number of people who watched the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in the United States was about 17 million including apps other than TV.
Reuters reported last time that this number was 37% less than the 26.5 million Rio de Janeiro Games held in Brazil five years ago, and less than half of the previous London Games, a significant decrease.
The local media are more enthusiastic than before because the background is that the broadcast in the United States has started in the morning due to the time difference and concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection have been pointed out. It is said that the atmosphere may have faded.
