Democrats draw 26 million viewers on night one, beating Republicans

Monday's broadcast and cable coverage of the DNC averaged 26 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen data. The total could rise slightly once the ratings for smaller channels are factored in.

The first night of the RNC last Monday averaged 23 million viewers between 10 and 11 p.m. This Monday's coverage lasted until about 11:30 p.m.

CNN was the highest rated channel during the Democrats' debut, beating the NBC, ABC and CBS broadcast networks.

CNN had 6.2 million viewers; MSNBC was #2 with 4.6 million; and NBC was #3 with 4.3 million.

way to watch it. Did switch to MSNBC about the time of Cory Booker's speech but their post-mortem session was godawful. Hugh Hewitt? Are you effin' kidding me? Those youngsters reporting from the floor finding the lowest IQ Bernie delegates in the house? Very disappointing.
