Donald Trump drew fewer viewers across six major cable and broadcast networks for his inauguration swearing in and address, according to Nielsen.
Across the six major cable and broadcast networks, the inauguration drew about 27.12 million viewers during the noon to 12:45 p.m. ET time frame.
Nearly 40 million watched Joe Biden’s swearing in and inaugural address four years ago on the six networks. In 2017, about 38.3 million watched Trump’s first inauguration.
Fox News walloped the competition, drawing 10.67 million, followed by ABC News with 4.85 million, NBC News with 4.58 million, CBS News with 4.35 million, CNN with 1.80 million and MSNBC with 880,000. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News drew 2.09 million, followed by NBC News with 1.22 million, ABC News with 1.12 million, CBS News with 966,000, CNN with 563,000 and MSNBC with 106,000.
The figures are from Nielsen via Fox News.
Nielsen plans to release final figures later today.
More to come.
