Peacock Records Best Tuesday Usage Ever; NBC Sports Digital has Delivered Four Most-Streamed Olympic Primetime Nights Ever in First Four Nights of Tokyo Olympic Competition

STAMFORD, Conn. - July 28, 2021 - NBCUniversal continues to deliver large Tokyo Olympic audiences throughout the day and across all platforms.
