re: Peacock wildcard game was the most-streamed live event in US history

As stated, the most streamed live event ever. Was also responsible for the most internet usage ever on a single date. Consumed 30% of the entire internet usage for that time period. That's crazy.

This is per NBC. Has it been verified by any other entities?

So NBC is quick to pump out how successful it was, but didn't disclose if it boosted their subscriptions. I'm deducing that if it had, they'd be bragging. And if it didn't move new subscribers, then it wasn't successful.

Additionally, they stated that it was the biggest day on their platform with 16.3 million unique devices signed in. That's 50% of their Q4 subscriber numbers. But the total viewership for the game was 23 million. Even assuming all 16.3 million devices watched the game, that still leaves 6 million viewers through other means.
