except that’s not the photo being shown in a lot of instances. They one they showed is 2 hours before the inauguration.
This just in from Neilson - Trump Inauguration was viewed by 30 M. (not counting internet and online). That means it’s the most watched in 36 years (Including Obama!)
Actually, I believe the numbers for Obola 1 was 37 million. Neilson said Trumps were 31 million.
Another issue is that, like it or not, Obolas was special for this country, in that he was the first black president. That in and of itself is historical, and going to draw larger numbers. Just look at the decline of numbers from Obolas 2nd. It was no longer historical.
Also, in ‘09, live streaming was in its infancy. Today, exponentially more people are live streaming than 8 years ago. When you look at the decline of broadcast tv and the rise of streaming, it would be easy to make the case that broadcast and streaming numbers would be close to equal.
Excellent!!!

Count the internet viewers and it tops 0’s.
Making it probably the most watched inauguration —ever—.
And I screencapped at about 25 minutes into the inauguration, and the mall was packed from the Capitol steps to that two level building at the Washington monument.
The OP and the media are full of it (horse $#!t.)
Viewership for the events and Mr. Trump’s speech, which was aired across all major broadcast and cable networks, was up from the 20.6 million who watched Mr. Obama get sworn in for a second time four years ago.
But Mr. Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 scored a larger television audience, with 37.8 million tuning in, according to Nielsen.
The ratings for Mr. Trump were on par with George W. Bush’s first inauguration in 2001 and Bill Clinton’s first in 1993, which brought in 29 million and 29.7 million viewers, respectively. Ronald Reagan had 41.8 million viewers in 1981.
