Do you completely ignore other channels during the Olympics?

I just noticed that since the Olympics started, I’ve only been tuned in to that channel and have completely ignored all the other channels I typically watch. I’m not always actively watching it, sometimes just have it on as background noise, but it’s still always on the Olympics. Anyone else? Or at least partially? Do you think other stations ratings suffer during the Olympics?
