The early Nielsen data is in, and as one might expect, the audience figures for last night’s Republican presidential primary debate are down from prior debates.
TV Newser reports upstart cable news network NewsNation, which hosted the live two-hour primetime affair, brought in around 1.6 million viewers for its live broadcast of the debate, by far the largest audience in network’s relatively brief history; among adults 25-54, the debate was watched by more than 350,000 viewers on NewsNation.
Broadcast network The CW, which shares a parent with NewsNation (Nexstar Media Group, Inc.), averaged more than 2.5 million total viewers and 500,000 A25-54 viewers for its simulcast of the NewsNation debate — making the debate The CW’s most watched primetime telecast since 2018. Combining viewership for the NewsNation broadcast with The CW simulcast, roughly 4.1 million total viewers (850,000 A25-54) watched the linear broadcast of last night’s GOP debate, per Fast Nationals from Nielsen.
