29.5 Million Watch Debate on "BIG 3" / Most on ABC... [View All]

[aaaaaa5a]

Most people saw the debate on ABC last night. 29.5 million saw the debate on the major broadcast stations.



The Cable News Numbers are not out yet and will add to the network sum of total viewers. Remember CNN has beat the "big 3" networks before when it comes to major Political events.


Here's a brief synopsis...


(snip)


Viewed by an average broadcast audience of 29.53 million, the first Presidential Debate dominated the night’s television. (Cable viewership will likely come soon via news story or press release). It is interesting to note that quite a few more viewers watched the debate on ABC than on CBS, NBC or Fox boosting ABC to the win for the night for both average viewers and the adults 18-49 demo.
