"The London 2012 Closing Ceremony gave NBC mammoth figures on Sunday night, Nielsen&amp;#039;s preliminary overnight data suggests. The Peacock Network&amp;#039;s heavily-edited three-hour coverage averaged 26.9m and an 18-49 adult demo rating of 9.1. Despite cutting to Animal Practice before the end, yesterday&amp;#039;s event was the US&amp;#039;s most-watched Closing Ceremony on record. Big Brother logged 5.6m (1.9) for CBS at 8pm, prior to which 60 Minutes had 6m (1.0). Secret Millionaire rose off its all-time low to 3.8m (1.0) on ABC in the 8pm slot. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition followed with an improved 2.8m (0.9) an hour later. A Family Guy repeat gave Fox its best audience of the evening with 3.6m (1.8) at 9.30pm. Predictably, NBC won the primetime scoreboard with 7.6, ahead of Fox&amp;#039;s 1.3, CBS&amp;#039;s 1.2, and ABC&amp;#039;s 0.9. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
