So he just put a dent in them... how disappointing.

[PghBaldy]

I noticed that MSNBC & CNN seemed to cut off the sound for Trump when he was making a good point, and would go to panelists instead. Trump was also n CSPAN

[Sacajaweau]

These are ratings....not number of viewers.

I think they're hiding real numbers which is only a guess anyways.

[annieokie]

Very telling.....

Headline: Fox News Debate Numbers Steady Without Donald Trump

It will be interesting to see the actual numbers compared against normal ratings. For example:

• TVNewser,

  Scoreboard for Tuesday, January 26th Total Viewership .............(Live & SD):

• Primetime: FNC=2.780, CNN=895

  Scoreboard for Wednesday, January 27th Total Viewership ........(Live & SD):

• Primetime: FNC=2.857 CNN=880

  Thursdays numbers were not yet published at time of this posting. But those numbers should demonstrate any changes at either cable news outlet as it regards the numbers at FNC GoP debate vs. Trump's alt. fundraiser at CNN

I would not say “CNN covered” Trumps program. What I saw was an excuse for CNN to talk over just about every guest (including the Donald) that came up to the microphone. I switched it off after about 10 minutes, switching back and forth the rest of the program, and it never seemed to change. This was NOT “CNN “covering” the Trump Program...

[TigerClaws]

I had both on at the same time. Sure many did as well.

My complaint with Fox News over the last few years is that they have forgotten their customers.
Ailes puts the employees before the customers and that is killing Fox News.

[pgkdan]

I would have watched Trump's event on CNN but every time I tuned in it was Don Lemon, or Hillary or Bernie on the screen. I'm familiar enough with Trump's positions that I saw no need to put up with the rest of the crap sandwich that CNN put on to see him.

So I watched the Avengers instead.

[TigerClaws]

This ignores how people watch tv.

DVR. Computer open. Mute on. Kids running around.

But it’s useful for... Ad rates.

Very small % of people under 30 ever sit through any TV ads.

[nclaurel]

This does not take into consideration OAN where we were able to watch uninterrupted the full Vets rally. So the numbers are skewed.

[Cboldt]

FoxNews won the ratings race. It was close, but they won.

Now on to the caucuses! How many votes does FoxNews get?

[musicman]

First FNC Debate Rating Share: 15.7
Second FNC Debate Rating Share : 7.4 ....

It was shown on several channels, so hoe did they stack up the numbers from Cspan and elsewhere?

[SeaHawkFan]

Not exactly the result Trump was hoping for. Intelligent people are figuring out that Trump is just a blowhard.

[GSWarrior]

Yawn

[joshua c]

What were the ad rates when Trump was in and what were they when he was out?

I am guessing Fox took a hit.

[austinaero]

There is no way Trump’s even would have beat FOX in the ratings,,having been thrown together so quickly.

HOwever, the fact there was a dent in FOXs ratings is clarifying. Trump now has more leverage. Advertisers are going to be smarter going forward spending money during FOX debates.

[prisoner6]

Well Barrett=Jackson Auto Auction was on live from Scottsdale AZ and I have to admit I watched that.

[libbylu]

Last night’s debates had higher ratings than the previous. But who are we kidding? The One will brag and his supporters will continue their blind faith agreement.
