Default Television ratings for the Democratic convention edge out the GOP’s

The winner in the TV ratings.


If the presidential election were a contest for television popularity, the Democratic Party would be able to claim victory in a key early battle.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s acceptance speech last week edged out President Trump’s lengthy Thursday night address in viewership, according to early Nielsen data. Among the six major broadcast and cable news networks, Trump’s speech brought in 19.85 million total viewers, the ratings firm announced Friday, compared with 21.8 million for Biden.

Across their respective four nights of programming, the Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention. These numbers, however, include only those who watched on the three major broadcast networks and three major cable news channels — ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC — and not the increasing number who streamed convention coverage online.
Both conventions, which were primarily virtual events relying heavily on pretaped content, were down significantly from 2016. The Democratic convention experienced a 21.6 percent drop, while the Republican convention experienced a more significant 28.9 percent drop. The disparity between the audience between the two parties was also greater this year than during the last two convention cycles.

Viewership trends for this year’s conventions also hewed closely to the ideological leanings of each of the cable news networks.

During the Republican convention, Fox News was king, averaging 7.8 million total viewers during the 10 p.m. hour compared with 1.96 million for CNN and 1.69 for the more left-leaning MSNBC. On Thursday night, Fox News attracted a massive 9.18 million total viewers during Trump’s speech, accounting for nearly half the total convention audience for the night.
During the Democratic convention, however, MSNBC, with 5.79 million viewers, and CNN, with 5.13 million, were on top, while Fox News trailing at an average 2.36 million per night.

The audience data also shows the election-season dominance of the politics-heavy cable news networks, which mostly defeated the broadcast news networks for convention coverage, even though broadcast’s nightly news shows usually draw far more viewers than even the most popular shows on cable. During the conventions, Fox News and CNN were tied for the lead among the 25-to-54 age demographic that is most attractive to advertisers.

While Biden and Trump each attracted the biggest audience for their respective convention, their numbers still paled in comparison with the more than 38 million viewers who in 2008 tuned in for speeches by then-candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
Biden’s TV edge over Trump could speak to the public’s curiosity about the former vice president, whose campaign has been less visible during the pandemic; while viewers have had no shortage of opportunities to see Trump speak on television in recent months.

“I think the DNC was surprisingly successful as a television event,” said Mark Lukasiewicz, the head of Hofstra University’s school of communication and a former NBC News executive who produced the network’s convention coverage in 2004, 2012 and 2016. “They very smartly choreographed the pace of each evening.”

The RNC, he said, “was much more like a traditional presentation. It was a very long set of speakers, less video and produced creative content and more speeches, the majority of which were in the exact same setting and the same backdrop and had a tremendous sameness to them.”
With its mix of formats, including musical performances and splashes of comedy, the Democratic convention was likened to “a 1970s variety show” by Syracuse University television scholar Robert Thompson. It was “a tighter, better produced” television product than the Republican convention, which he said dragged on a bit. “There were many opportunities to go to the bathroom or check the microwave during this convention, because so much stuff lasted a lot longer,” he said.

Although ratings are pored over by the television networks and political campaigns, Thompson said “the real measure of success of convention coverage is ultimately judged not by the ratings, but judged by the votes of people.”

Millions had already lost electricity by Thursday night -- and their access to TVs and cable. Millions more were watching the Weather Channel as a major hurricane was still bearing down on them Thursday night. Fuck WaPo and its anti-Trump narratives.

Every post of MUNCHY'S is regurgitations of that rag...that is where he gets his marching orders and talking points, he isn't an independent thinker.
Most all his posts are profanity laced...it's his only way of expressing himself in regards to all the indefensible leftwing lunacy he spews!!

Only a really, really ignorant jackass would imagine a generator would help someone watch TV in a home such as these that were DESTROYED by Hurricane Laura.

Homes in California didn't have power either...the lack of power excuse isn't valid. The Weather Channel is more interesting (and truthful) than any recent Trump rant.

California then would be another geographic location where the TV audience was limited by access to electricity. Lack of power is a substantive factor in television viewing. Only blind, rodent brained morons that seek to hide from truth and daylight in dirt holes could imagine differently.

Whatever you say bud. If you could read and understand the posts your opinion might mean something. But you're just noise.
You can't point out the specifics you disagree with so you keep it safe and attack the whole thing.
What proof do I have?
Read your posts. You constantly complain about people not condemning what you think they should.
But you never say anything about trump and his 20000 lies.
And what's with all the caps? Why do you complain about profanity when you use it frequently?
Maybe one day you'll grow up and back up your claims.
Maybe if trump wins a third term (HS)?

That's what I thought. Only Republican homes lost power???

The ratings are from Nielsen which has been doing this for decades. Maybe there is some sort of political bias in their sample group but there is no evidence that that is true.

"The GOP lost the TV ratings race this week, as prime time viewership for the Republican National Convention was consistently below figures for the Democratic party's virtual convention last week, according to figures released by Nielsen."

https://www.npr.org/2020/08/28/90728...vision-ratings

The only night that the RNC had more viewers was on Tuesday night when Melania spoke.

How meaningful is it? None at all in my opinion. What will be interesting to see are the polls over the next week to see what, if any, impact the RNC had on Trump's approval ratings and if there is any movement in the national and state polls.
