Viewership Up For Tuesday Night

From TV Week:

Interest in Sen. Hillary Clinton¹s speech regarding party unity helped boost ratings during the second night of the Democratic National Convention
Tuesday.

NBC, ABC and CBS reported substantial gains over Monday's hour of coverage of Michelle Obama's speech.

In 56 metered markets, NBC brought in a 4.9 rating/8 share in preliminary households, increasing 29% from Monday. That was the largest increase and the highest rating of the night in convention coverage.

ABC took in a 3.8/6, up 31%, and CBS ended the night with a 2.7/4, moving the needle 13% from Monday.

There were 22 million watching Monday night, and for the many of you fretting over the poor media coverage (all pundit talk, no speech coverage) so far, remember Obama goes on Thursday to 30 (or more) million viewers with no filter [during the speech - before and after, well...].
