NBC SPORTS TO PRESENT LIVE COVERAGE OF NEW BALANCE FIFTH AVENUE MILE THIS SUNDAY AT NOON E.T. ON NBC AND PEACOCK

September 8, 2022 By admin

Live Coverage Begins at Noon E.T. with the Women’s Race at 12:30 p.m. ET and the Men’s Race at 12:45 p.m. ET

Highlighted By Numerous Olympians and World Championship Medalists Including Jake Wightman, Emma Coburn, Josh Kerr, Cole Hocker, Laura Muir, Cory McGee, and More

STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 8, 2022 – Reigning 1500m world champion Jake Wightman, 2017 steeplechase world champion Emma Coburn, Tokyo Olympic 1500m bronze medalist Josh Kerr, and 2021 U.S. 1500m champion Cole Hocker headline NBC Sports’ live coverage of the 2022 New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile this Sunday, Sept. 11, at Noon E.T on NBC and Peacock.

The race – in its 41st year – stretches 20 blocks on 5th Avenue in New York City, starting at 80th street and finishing at 60th street. The women’s field is led by defending champion Jemma Reekie (Great Britain), 2022 world 1500m bronze medalist Laura Muir (Great Britain), Tokyo Olympic 1500m finalist Cory McGee, and Coburn. Reekie looks to repeat as champion in the absence of 2016 Rio Olympic 1500m bronze medalist Jenny Simpson, who won the race a record seven years in a row from 2013 to 2019.

The men’s field is led by Wightman (Great Britain), Kerr (Great Britain), Hocker, and Tokyo Olympian Jye Edwards (Australia). Wightman is coming off a breakout season that saw him win the world title in the 1500m, the European silver medal in the 800m, and Commonwealth Games bronze in the 1500m. A two-time winner of the 5th Avenue Mile, Wightman looks to become the first man to win in back-to-back years since Isaac Viciosa (Spain) won the iconic race four years in a row (1995-1998). The U.S. contingent in the men’s race is highlighted by 2019 U.S. 1500m champion Craig Engels.

NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard will call the event, joined by two-time Olympian Kara Goucher and reporter Lewis Johnson.

OREGON22 IS MOST-WATCHED WORLD TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON RECORD

July 27, 2022 By admin

18.7 Million Total Viewers Across NBC Sports Platforms for 10-Day Event is Most On Record (Since 1988)

July 24 Primetime Program on NBC is Most-Watched Track & Field Event on NBC in 26 Years, Excluding Olympics and U.S. Team Trials

Powered by Sydney McLaughlin, Noah Lyles, Athing Mu, Fred Kerley, Katie Nageotte, Ryan Crouser and Many More, Team USA Sets World Track & Field Championships Record By Winning 33 Medals

STAMFORD, Conn. – July 27, 2022 – Powered by the incredible performances of superstar athletes Sydney McLaughlin, Noah Lyles, Athing Mu, Fred Kerley, Katie Nageotte, Ryan Crouser and many more, the World Track & Field Championships Oregon22 are the most-watched World Track & Field Championships on record (since 1988), reaching 18.7 million total viewers across NBC Sports platforms for the 10-day event. The 18.7 million total viewers surpass NBC Sports’ previous record for the event by 65% (London 2017, 11.3 million).

In the first-ever outdoor World Track & Field Championships held in the United States, Team USA finished with 33 total medals (13 gold), the highest ever by a single nation, breaking a 35-year-old record (31, East Germany, Rome 1987). The previous American record was 30 medals for London 2017. See below for the complete Team USA medal haul.

On the final night of competition on Sunday, July 24, NBC averaged 2.362 million TV-only viewers (9:00-11:06 p.m. ET/PT), making it the network’s most-watched track & field program in 26 years, excluding Olympics and U.S. Team Trials. Viewership peaked at 3.2 million viewers at the end of the competition night. It was also the second-most watched sports program of the weekend.

“Oregon22 was an unprecedented opportunity to engage with passionate American track & field fans and make new ones,” said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics & Paralympics. “The U.S. Track & Field team, fueled by an electric, live crowd at iconic Hayward Field, delivered on that opportunity and then some, with a dominant performance across multiple events on the track and in the field that sets the stage for a record-setting Paris 2024 Olympics.”

Additional viewership highlights:

  • Coverage for the seven NBC broadcast network programs — including four in primetime, a first for the event – averaged nearly two million TV-only viewers (1.934 million), the highest World Track & Field Championships average for the network in 15 years (2007, 2.08 million, one NBC telecast).
  • Friday night’s (July 22) primetime coverage on USA Network averaged 783,000 TV-only viewers, NBC Sports’ second-most watched track & field cable telecast on record, excluding Olympics and U.S. Team Trials. It trails only the 2018 Indoor Championships, which had a Winter Olympics lead-in (1.306 million, NBCSN, Feb. 10).
  • Across all 43 hours of television coverage (NBC/USA/CNBC), the 2022 World Track & Field Championships averaged 834,000 viewers – the highest average for the event since 2015 (1.163 million, four NBC-only telecasts). That average viewership is more than four times larger than the 2019 event in Doha (199,000 viewers).
  • The T&F World Championships set a new streaming record with more than 200 million minutes viewed, including simulstreams, exclusives, and replays, across Peacock and NBC Sports digital platforms.

NBC Sports’ record coverage of the 10-day event (July 15-24) included 43 hours of television programming across NBC, USA Network and CNBC, as well as live streaming coverage of all competition sessions on Peacock. NBC Sports digital platforms live streamed all television coverage.

Via its extensive media rights agreement with World Athletics that runs through 2029, NBC Sports will present the next four outdoor World Track & Field Championships, including Budapest 2023 and Tokyo 2025, and many other championship meets.

NBCUniversal also has exclusive U.S. media rights to the Olympic Games through 2032, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games which begin two years from yesterday, and will feature extensive track & field coverage.

Olympians Ato Boldon, Sanya Richards-Ross, Kara Goucher and Trey Hardee will serve as analysts for NBC Sports’ coverage of the World Track & Field Championships Oregon22 alongside play-by-play voices Leigh Diffey and Paul Swangard, and reporter Lewis Johnson. Click here for more details.

The prestigious meet will be held at University of Oregon’s iconic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., which re-opened its doors in 2021 after undergoing major renovations from 2018-2020 that have cemented its status as one of track & field’s premiere venues for international competition.

Dubbed “TrackTown USA,” Eugene and the University of Oregon have hosted multiple U.S. and NCAA championship meets and Diamond League competitions, making it only fitting that it hosts the first-ever outdoor World Championships in the U.S., which was originally scheduled for 2021, but was delayed after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics postponement.
