...firsts, however. Not since TV and the Olympics were introduced to each other has the network covering the Games lost money. Though ABC projects a healthy 21.5 average rating in prime time and commercial time is virtually sold out (up to $300,000 for a 30-second spot), network executives admit that advertising income will not cover the costs.
