More on big Phelps ratings
To put Saturday night's peak Olympic ratings into perspective: The 37.2 rating for the quarter-hour when Michael Phelps was swimming was the fourth-highest quarter-hour rating and second-highest share in Baltimore in the past year. Here are the top five quarter-hour peaks:
Show Rating Share
Super Bowl 50.3 67
Olympics (Wed.) 40.1 53
NFC championship 38.5 49
Olympics (Sat.) 37.2 59

(On Wednesday, Phelps swam in two finals.)
