Variety: The first primetime interview with President Trump after his official ascension to the office didnt set the Nielsen charts aflame. In Nielsens preliminary ratings, President Trumps interview with ABC News David Muir on Wednesday night drew a 1.7 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and 7.5 million viewers on the whole, winning the night but well short of President Obamas first primetime interview after taking office in 2009.
Obamas first primetime interview as opposed to a televised press conference or late-night talk show appearance on March 22, 2009 notched a 3.9 rating in the 18-49 demo and drew a total audience of 17.04 million.
