The first day of the impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump drew over 13 million total viewers across the broadcast and news networks combined.
Fox News’s coverage from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. drew the highest total viewership of any network, averaging around 2.9 million sets of eyeballs. MSNBC followed in second with 2.7 million viewers tuning in to its coverage in the same time period.
ABC, CBS and NBC all interrupted their regular daytime schedule to cover the hearings, with the Disney-owned network coming out on top with 2 million total viewers watching its impeachment coverage between 9:50 am and 4 p.m.
ABC also performed strongest of any of the broadcast and news networks in the key 25-54 demographic, averaging 496,000 viewers. Fox News came narrowly beat NBC into second place with an average of 442,000 to the Peacock’s 440,000.
CNN wasn’t far behind with 428,000, leaving CBS and MSNBC trailing in the demographic with averages of 384,000 and 365,000 viewers respectively.
Interesting. Thank you.
For contrast, over 20 million viewers tuned in to the Kavanaugh hearings.
Day 1 of this charade was a ratings bomb. We don’t watch because it has been deadly dull, but we get the gist of the proceedings from post-session coverage.

There are 332,000,000 million Americans in the USA...these TV Viewer numbers are terrible to say the least. For goodness sake, POTUS Donald J. Trump gets 24,000,000 TV viewers for (the last Democrat POTUS debate got a toilet number of 8,000,000 TV viewers) for any of his debates...POTUS, Trump also get 15,000 plus supporters at everyone of his campaign rallies!!!
Can you imagine this?....The TV Networks went bongo over the Democrat, Pelosi/Schiff farce...period, ABC, NBC, CBS, FNC, FBN, CNN, OANN, PBS, C-Span, MSNBC & numerous live feed lines across the country...”Ten Major” TV networks broadcasting this farce, and only 13,000,000 out of 322,000,000 folks tuned in....that’s about 8-9% of the total number of Americans tuned... So much for the Pelosi, Schiff Impeachment hearings!!! I would say Pelosi & Schiff need to be flushed down the nearest toilet for wasting the time money of the American people. Case Closed!!!
I’d love to see an hour by hour viewership number.
I’ll bet many tuned in, but how long could they stand it?
I’ll bet the figures are skewed to not reveal how fast people tuned OUT.
