Opening of Trump impeachment trial draws 11 million TV viewers
(Reuters) - About 11 million TV viewers watched the start of the U.S. Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Tuesday when lawmakers sparred for hours over witnesses and records for the historic proceedings, according to Nielsen ratings data.
The total fell short of the roughly 13.8 million viewers across 10 broadcast and cable television networks who tuned in last November for the first day of the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into Trump.
The audience figure on Tuesday covered the 4-1/2 hours of daytime coverage by six cable and broadcast networks that aired live telecasts on Tuesday.
The networks were Walt Disney Co’s (DIS.N) ABC, ViacomCBS Inc’s (VIACA.O) CBS, Comcast Corp’s (CMCSA.O) NBC and MSNBC, AT&T Inc’s (T.N) CNN and Fox Corp’s (FOXA.O) Fox News.
