Los Angeles Times: “Nielsen data showed an average of around 18.7 million viewers watched the speakers featured from 10 to 11:15 p.m. ET on the major ad-supported channels. The speakers included former First Lady Michelle Obama, who delivered a solemn but scathing indictment of the Trump presidency.”
“The total fell nearly 28% below the 25.9 million who watched night one of the 2016 convention on the major ad-supported channels when Obama was also featured.”
