If any of the January 6 Commission’s hearings are again scheduled to take place in prime time, it’s entirely possible that the networks will take a “hard pass” next time:
🚨🚨 Dems BS 1/6 hearings BOMB in the ratings!
8pm ET ABC Attack on the Capitol 0.5 4.477 NBC January 6th Hearings 0.4 3.296 CBC Capitol Assault Hearings 0.3 3.335
9pm ET ABC AOC 0.6 4.233 NBC Jan 6 0.4 3.331 CBS CAH 0.3 3.139

The Hill’s Joe Concha adds some context:
Context: The evening newscasts on CBS, NBC & ABC average anywhere from 18 to 20 million viewers combined on a typical night. Those newscasts do not air in primetime. The January 6 hearings airing in primetime Thursday took in just 11+ million viewers on those three same networks. https://t.co/KcdsM5sx3Z

CNN and MSNBC were up because that’s basically the 1/6 Commission’s base, and no doubt they’ll be hoping for another hearing in prime time, but the networks certainly won’t.

The Left criticized Fox News for not airing the hearing (it was broadcast on Fox Business) but they did discuss what was going on during their regular programming.
🤣😂🤣 Based on the ratings (or lack thereof)… a whopping 11M on network…
Most people were also buy with other business instead of worrying about BS from 17 months ago https://t.co/RLkOefIzve

The Democrats’ (with the help of a couple Republicans) attempt to distract Americans from the real problems is failing miserably with all but the Left’s base.

Summation: The pirme time viewership on the broadcast networks was reduced to about half its normal size. The GOP half of the population didn’t watch. The networks were merely preaching to their own choir.
They need to have some pervert sex included in the show—I thought that was required these days!
I really don’t care if the networks carry or don’t carry anything about the sham 1/6 committee. It is clear people are not interested. They are concerned about too many other things right now, like feeding their babies and putting gas into their tanks.
I’m jealous as all get out that E Pluribus Unum knows how to get that beautiful format.
Gutfeld! has better ratings than any late night talk show. So, all those young Democrats got Gutfeld’s perspective on the whole event.
