Is anyone watching the Republican National Convention? It's been up against the second season premiere of Gossip Girl, a new version of 90210, the latest installment of Project Runway.
Turns out, people are watching. (Actually, due to Monday's truncated schedule it was possible to watch Cindy McCain and Gossip Girl.)
Wednesday's speech by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin speech generated 37.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen television research. That's 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama's acceptance speech, Greek columns and all, on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention.
Strikingly, the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee's speech was broadcast on six
networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (BET, TV
One, Univision and Telemundo).
Palin attracted a large female audience, 19.5 million women, or
4.9 million viewers that watched Hillary Clinton's speech in Denver.
Unsurprisingly, ratings for viewers 55 and older (25.2 million viewers) has been consistently ten times
higher than the teenage audience (2.2 million) which may, indeed, have tuned in to Project Runway.
