Ratings still strong for NBC; Tirico gets boss's endorsement

NEW YORK (AP) — Highlights from media coverage of the Pyeongchang Olympics:

RATINGS: Five days into the Olympics, NBC is taking a cautious victory lap. While viewership is down from the Sochi Games four years ago, it's not by as much as most TV shows have dropped in the past four years. More importantly for NBC, the audience is bigger so far than the network privately promised advertisers, giving its executives the chance to make more money. Monday night continued that trend. The Nielsen company said 22.3 million people watched the Olympics in prime time, 20.9 million of them on NBC.
