Honoring Paddy Television viewership down for unconventional convention By David Bauder ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Preliminary estimates show that viewership for the first night of the Dem- ocrats’ virtual convention was down compared with the opening of Hillary Clinton’s nominat- ing party four years ago. An estimated 18.7 million people watched coverage between 10 and 11 p.m. on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, the Nielsen company said. Four years ago, open- ing night drew just under 26 million viewers. Nielsen’s preliminary numbers did not include streaming or networks like PBS and CSPAN; a more comprehensive estimate is due later Tuesday. MSNBC and CNN, which aired the Demo- crats’ two-hour prepared telecast essentially in its entirety, were rewarded with the biggest audiences. MSNBC had 5.1 million viewers and CNN had 4.78 million, roughly twice what the broadcast networks reached.
