Wow! Over 5 million viewers watched the Iowa GOP debate on Fox News
The Iowa GOP debate wasn’t as pathetic as the June GOP debate on CNN. No stupid grunting noises from John King, not stupid Coke or Pepsi commercials. But Fox News elitist panel members like flake Chris Wallace and Byron York didn’t do them any favors either. Still, Fox News had a viewing audience of over 5 million viewers according to TV Newser. In the age 25-54 demographic, Fox News had 1.43 million viewers. Not bad for an August debate one year before the election.
By comparison, the first GOP debate of this cycle on May 5, drew 3.258 million total viewers and 854,000 in the demo, also on Fox News.
And for some more comparison:
An August 7, 2007 debate among Democratic presidential candidates drew 893,000 total viewers and 297,000 A25-54 viewers on MSNBC.
An Oct. 21, 2007 GOP debate on Fox News Channel drew 2,367,000 total viewers and 697,000 A25-54 viewers.
A Nov. 28, 2007 GOP debate on CNN drew 4,292,000 total viewers and 1,409,000 A25-54 viewers.
