"Newsroom" recorded the highest ratings of 8.8% for households.

According to JTBC on the 17th, "Newsroom," which aired on the 16th, topped the main news of all channels based on target with an average of 6.7% of households in the metropolitan area and 2.1% of targets. The highest ratings also recorded 8.8% of households and 3% of targets, and the public's attention was focused on the "newsroom" that delivered the news of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

The "Newsroom" captures the performances, achievements, and back stories of Korean athletes faster than anyone else in line with JTBC's exclusive broadcast of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

He was the first to interview Kim Sang-gyeom, who won South Korea's first medal at the Winter Olympics and the 400th Olympic medal in South Korea. Until winning a silver medal in the parallel snowboard competition at the Olympics, Kim Sang-gyeom's fighting spirit and passion as well as his loveliness were highlighted.

The "Newsroom," which highlighted the athletes' performances immediately after the short track race that heated up the ice sheet on the 16th, will further boost the heat of the Winter Olympics by expressing the determination of the South Korean national team athletes who participated in various events on the 17th.

From the afternoon of the 17th to the early morning of the 18th, snowboard Yoo Seung-eun's "Sloaf Style" final, the women's curling team's seventh game (VS Switzerland), the figure skating women's single short program, and the men's two-seater bobsled final race will be held.

Meanwhile, JTBC dealt with snowboard half-five Choi Ga-on's first ever gold medal in snow events with subtitles and was criticized for sending out long-term graphics in the process of transmitting a live intermediate advertisement for the women's curling Korea-Japan match.
