Viewership has fallen off a cliff in America (for comparison, the 2018 PyeongChang opening ceremony drew 27.9 million viewers for the prime time broadcast and the 2022 Beijing opening ceremony live + prime time only managed 14 million). Without looking at numbers, I'd attribute the massive drop in viewership to:
1. China hosting.
2. General Olympics fatigue. We just had games six months ago in Tokyo.
3. Third straight Olympics in East Asia. People are sick of huge time zone differences.
4. NBC's coverage in general just being ass.
5. The NHL not releasing players.
Maybe the next three Olympics in Paris, Milan-Cortina, and LA will be better.

We have some good GB competitors, but frankly they are right up against it, across the board.
