CNBC said its Wednesday-night telecast of a debate among Republican candidates for U.S. President lured an average of 14 million viewers, making it the most-watched broadcast on the NBCUniversal-owned cable outlet in its history.
CNBC’s audience for the telecast was significantly lower than the crowds lured by Fox News Channel and CNN for similar events. A Republican debate broadcast in August by Fox News attracted an average of 24 million viewers, while a Republican debate broadcast in September by CNN won an average of 23.1 million viewers.
For CNBC, however, the numbers were meaningful. The network said it the broadcast of the debate was its most-watched night in network history in all key demos. The network snared an average of 3.9 million adults between 25 and 54 and an average of 3.4 million adults between 18 and 49 for its debate coverage.
The telecast, held at the Coors Events Center at the University of Colorado Boulder and moderated by Becky Quick, Carl Quintanilla and John Harwood, was not without controversy. Several Republican candidates expressed some outrage at some of the questions that were asked.

I'll go with that.
As opposed to how many watched the World Series?
Why would the candidates agree to compete with a national sports event?
12.52 million people watched the World Series. More people watched the Republican debate.
That’s really good. I’m sure it was very educational on a number of levels.
Exposed Blatant Media Bias to new viewers.
CNBC was seen with it’s pants down to new viewers.
The Debate itself showed how some candidates can really shine in the midst of Chaos.
We are talking about the liberal CNN? Want to bet the numbers are skewed?
Pretty sure the WS ruled.
CNBC . . . yea, I knew that . . . but my fingers obviously din’t.
No, the place I normally go to look at overnight network ratings, zap2it.com.

Well, ok.
If that is the case than I am surmising that the unwashed multitudes that once voted and supported democrats are now en masse turning to look and see with the “so-called” conservatives are saying.
As much as a changing tide would be welcome, how much can we truly expect from a party that has gone elite on America?
They tuned in to see Trump not the GOP party.
No everyone is tuning in to see if they will have a REAL debate this cycle.
So far, there is still not been one.
People click right back off once they figure out it is just another moderator BS session
Just shows the commie channel that the right people support theirs.
So CNBC dropped their drawers in front of their largest audience ever? GREAT!
This was the first and last time I will watch CNBC.
“12.52 million people watched the World Series. More people watched the Republican debate.”
Sounds about right. It’s baseball after all.
“Exposed Blatant Media Bias to new viewers. CNBC was seen with it’s pants down to new viewers. The Debate itself showed how some candidates can really shine in the midst of Chaos.”
I agree. The debate was electrifying on many levels.
CNBC pretty much just proved the massive pro-Democrat bias and anti-Republican bias we conservatives have known about and for years, and was a total travesty for CNBC.
I LOVED the fact that the candidates took total control of the debate, totally ignoring the moderators’ questions, repeatedly FORCING the moderators to let them finish talking, and in general, they managed to spend most of their time outlining the problems this country faces, why we face them, and their solutions, something that would NOT have happened if the candidates had stupidly played the moderators’ intended game.
I also particularly liked how they all kind of banded together towards the end, defending each other and attacking the crap out of the ignorant, lying, kommie pack of “moderators”.
Really, this was the most electrifying of the three debates so far because all the candidates but Jeb seized control of the situation, got to display their stuff, got to expound the great ideas and thoughts that conservatives have, and made the scumbag moderators look like fools in the bargain.
Yea, jeb is as big of a pussy as he looks.
“This was the first and last time I will watch CNBC.”
same here.
Fascinating thought you have there. Actually, it’s brilliant and would capture the imagination of the public - kind of an unplugged/acoustic debate.
All true. It can be done. I wonder if they will pursue something like that.
The number of viewers come from a third party, not from the networks.
