Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBCUniversal Media Group: "Our NBCUniversal team matched the occasion of this transformative Paris Olympics, presenting peerless coverage in daytime and primetime across all platforms, including the NBC broadcast network, which once again was home to the most-watched night of television for 17 consecutive days. The Games marked a groundbreaking moment for Peacock, which delivered a flawless user experience and cutting-edge innovation while shattering all-time Olympics streaming records. USA Network went around-the-clock and ranked #1 in cable sports and entertainment for the past two weeks. Telemundo Deportes provided extensive Spanish-language coverage. NBC News broadcast from on-location in Paris and dominated the competition, while our owned-stations and affiliates had soaring local news ratings. We sold more advertising for the Paris Olympics than for any other Games, and we delivered for all of our partners. Parks and Studios received unmatched promotion, as the 'halo effect' boosted all of our businesses. The Paris Olympics was as exciting as we could have hoped, and we can't wait to work with our partners at the IOC and USOPC in Milan-Cortina in '26 and LA28."

Rick Cordella, President, NBC Sports: "From the Opening Ceremony procession down the River Seine through more than two weeks of heart-stopping competition culminating this past weekend with Team USA's gold rush in men's and women's basketball, women's soccer, and track & field relays, these Olympics have captivated Americans in huge numbers across NBCUniversal platforms. Led by our best-in-class engineering and production teams in Paris and Stamford, a staff of more than 3,000 worked tirelessly to present these reimagined Games in new and innovative ways in all dayparts and on all platforms. We are thrilled that Americans embraced and enjoyed the Paris Olympics as much as we have."

Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President, NBC Olympics Production: "America was ready for this Olympics, and our NBCU team was excited to bring it home. From the day we began planning the production, we were passionate about finding the perfect mix of storytelling and innovation, while showcasing the competition, the athletes, and Paris in the most comprehensive way possible. We were honored to present the Paris Olympics, and look forward to continuing to serve the dedicated fans and viewers for many Olympic Games to come."

Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics: "The Olympics reestablished its unique power to reassemble the American media audience. That shared experience extended over 17 consecutive days across NBC, Peacock, NBCU's linear channels, and in short form on social and digital channels, as America rallied around the 594 Team USA athletes and their stories. Benefitting alongside the American audience were our Olympic advertisers who believed, as we always have, in the unifying power of the Games."
