Nielsen: DNC Television Ratings Crash 22% from 2016.

The television ratings of the first night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) sunk 22 percent from 2016, according to Nielsen.
The ratings crash suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris is far less popular than the media purported.
About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC, up from 2020’s virtual convention but severely down from 2016, Axios reported:

• Around 19.1 million viewers watched the DNC live from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. ET during the president’s speech.
• MSNBC drew the most viewers across all networks with 4.6 million, followed by CNN (3.2 million), ABC (2.8 million), Fox News (2.4 million), CBS (2.0 million) and NBC (1.8 million), according to fast national data provided by MSNBC.
• Monday marked the network’s largest DNC night 1 viewership ever, a spokesperson said.

The ratings crash came after the media spent countless hours hyping Harris’s “historic” candidacy.

Yeah. I was rewatching Dexter while getting sloshed on whisky.

Fyp; yw.

The only thing hinting of any drama was having to watch Papa Joe kneel and kiss Obama's ring.

Gosh, I wonder what has changed since 2016?

Well, for one thing, there are these things called "streaming services" which Nielsen still hasn't figured out how to measure. Millenials and Gen-Z love these "streaming services" and watch news stories in real time there.

Nielsen only measures BROADCAST TV, which is the near-exclusive purview of the almost-extinct Silent Generation, the rapidly declining Boomers and roughly half of Gen-X.

In terms of BROADCAST TV only, viewership is "down", especially when Mee-maw has trouble adjustin' those confounded rabbit ears.

Relic of the print age, Newsweek magazine, has the details.

I last owned a TV 20+ years ago,when it broke I calculated that I was only watching less than 2 hours a week so I did not replace it.
TV seems to be becoming more irrelevant as the years pass,like radio it will not disappear but the internet will be supreme.

EVERYONE has known who they are going to vote for ever since trump decided to run again. Campaign money and speeches mean nothing.

The OP is logically challenged.

Gentlemen, if you are going to engage in dick-measuring this morning, please have the courtesy to abstain until RightGuide is awake and sober.

He had a bit of a rough evening last night, foaming at the mouth about Gov. Tim Walz until the early morning hours. The DNC is never easy for him.

Let me know when you have a real thought. Don't get me involved in your love play with RG.

You will be waiting a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG time for that, so don't get your hopes up.

You were WAY ahead of the curve though I suspect you are being very precise about what you call a tv. I mean smart phones weren't out in 2005 in any meaningful way so you had to limp from 2005 to at least 2010 somehow. Even if I didn't stop 'tv' until very recently still get the programs just via other means.

I only use my TV as a monitor and speaker. The speaker on my lap top is useless.

Nancy dropping a load on her way to the microphone isn't helping viewer interests either:

I was always selective about what I watched and preferred reading,films and radio.I had the internet at the same time so that filled in any gaps.

Polymarkets is simply people betting on elections. During Democratic Convention weeks, well-heeled Republican donors make large bets on Republican candidates solely to foster an illusion that a Democratic candidate is "dropping in popularity".
