SILVER ELITE
nice spin...20M across that many channels. On a typical night CBS,NBC, ABC average 18-20M. the hearings, broadcast on primetime on a thursday night took in 11M viewes. The smart business move for the networks would be to take a hard pass on broadcasting the next charade.It was the top 3 shows on TV last night for two hours, easily outpacing Fox's denial show. For a part of Fox's show, they had a denier (Hannity I think) speaking and interviewing in one portion of the screen with a muted block in another portion of the screen following along with the hearing broadcast. When the hearing broadcast switched to recorded footage of the rioters breaking into the Capitol, Fox switched that block to a passive view of the hearing room.
Not airing on Fox certainly helped MSNBC and CNN. Fox people had to secretly watch the hearings somewhere.
End of the day, the hearings were a bust - average american doesn't care, unless soemone was going to talk about gas prices and responsible gun laws.
