I’ll get the pop corn…
The first night of the DNC on Monday drew 15.32 million 55 and over, 3.51 million in the 35-54 demo and 851,000 aged 18-34, per Nielsen.
MSNBC topped the networks, drawing 4.6 million viewers, compared to 3.2 million for CNN, 2.8 million for ABC News, 2.4 million for Fox News, 2 million for CBS News and 1.8 million for NBC News.
Channel 4 in the UK is airing the Trump/Harris debate, plus an hour-long documentary by Matt Frei.
That’s about half a million more than the first night, once again besting the audience for the Republican National Convention, which suffered from a steep decline to just 14.8M viewers in its second night.
Night 2 of the DNC was broadcast live from Chicago from approximately 10:00 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. ET, featuring speeches from Former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and more.
According to Nielsen, Obama’s speech, from around 11:03 p.m. to 11:37 p.m. ET, tallied 21.9M viewers.
