2nd Persidential Debate beat Football in ratings last night

The second presidential debate probably won’t end up with as massive an audience as the first one — NBC didn’t air it due to its contract with the NFL for “Sunday Night Football” — but it was still the runaway leader in Sunday night’s ratings.

The debate combined for 29.77 million viewers and an 8.6 rating in adults 18-49, pending updates, on CBS, ABC and FOX. Univision’s Spanish-language coverage added another 2.16 million viewers and a 1.1 in adults 18-49. That’s well ahead of the 15 million viewers and 5.2 (also pending updates) for “SNF,” which is currently down 0.9 in adults 18-49 vs. the prior week
