"The network estimated 157 million people, or more than half the U.S. population, caught some Olympic action on at least one of its outlets, including USA, MSNBC and Oxygen, during the first four days of the games. That's an 11 percent viewership increase over the first four days of the 2004 Athens Games, NBC said"

The BBC today said a total of about 40 million people in the UK have watched at least 15 minutes of the Beijing Olympics - up from 32 million last week.
