NETWORK FINALS: OLYMPICS coverage had a healthy 0.4 adjustment in final numbers to 6.1. As expected, the removal of NFL preseason preemptions made for much change elsewhere: on ABC, BATTLEBOTS, THE $100,000 PYRAMID and MATCH GAME all fell 0.2; on CBS, the rerun BIG BANG THEORY fell 0.3, the LIFE IN PIECES and CODE BLACK reruns were down 0.2, and BIG BROTHER slipped 0.1; FOX plummeted to the tune of 0.4 for the ROSEWOOD rerun and 0.5 for the BONES rerun; and on CW, both the LEGENDS OF TOMORROW rerun and MY LAST DAYS fell 0.1.
