That would be an asinine assumption on your part. Hurricane related blackouts, viewers preoccupied with where the hurricane was going and rolling black outs in fucked-up dem-retard controlled California contributed to the event not receiving even higher ratings.

If the presidential election were a contest for television popularity, the Democratic Party would be able to claim victory in a key early battle.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s acceptance speech last week edged out President Trump’s lengthy Thursday night address in viewership, according to early Nielsen data. Among the six major broadcast and cable news networks, Trump’s speech brought in 19.85 million total viewers, the ratings firm announced Friday, compared with 21.8 million for Biden.

Across their respective four nights of programming, the Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention. These numbers, however, include only those who watched on the three major broadcast networks and three major cable news channels — ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC — and not the increasing number who streamed convention coverage online.
Both conventions, which were primarily virtual events relying heavily on pretaped content, were down significantly from 2016. The Democratic convention experienced a 21.6 percent drop, while the Republican convention experienced a more significant 28.9 percent drop. The disparity between the audience between the two parties was also greater this year than during the last two convention cycles.

Viewership trends for this year’s conventions also hewed closely to the ideological leanings of each of the cable news networks.

During the Republican convention, Fox News was king, averaging 7.8 million total viewers during the 10 p.m. hour compared with 1.96 million for CNN and 1.69 for the more left-leaning MSNBC. On Thursday night, Fox News attracted a massive 9.18 million total viewers during Trump’s speech, accounting for nearly half the total convention audience for the night.
During the Democratic convention, however, MSNBC, with 5.79 million viewers, and CNN, with 5.13 million, were on top, while Fox News trailing at an average 2.36 million per night.

The audience data also shows the election-season dominance of the politics-heavy cable news networks, which mostly defeated the broadcast news networks for convention coverage, even though broadcast’s nightly news shows usually draw far more viewers than even the most popular shows on cable. During the conventions, Fox News and CNN were tied for the lead among the 25-to-54 age demographic that is most attractive to advertisers.

While Biden and Trump each attracted the biggest audience for their respective convention, their numbers still paled in comparison with the more than 38 million viewers who in 2008 tuned in for speeches by then-candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
Biden’s TV edge over Trump could speak to the public’s curiosity about the former vice president, whose campaign has been less visible during the pandemic; while viewers have had no shortage of opportunities to see Trump speak on television in recent months.

“I think the DNC was surprisingly successful as a television event,” said Mark Lukasiewicz, the head of Hofstra University’s school of communication and a former NBC News executive who produced the network’s convention coverage in 2004, 2012 and 2016. “They very smartly choreographed the pace of each evening.”

The RNC, he said, “was much more like a traditional presentation. It was a very long set of speakers, less video and produced creative content and more speeches, the majority of which were in the exact same setting and the same backdrop and had a tremendous sameness to them.”
With its mix of formats, including musical performances and splashes of comedy, the Democratic convention was likened to “a 1970s variety show” by Syracuse University television scholar Robert Thompson. It was “a tighter, better produced” television product than the Republican convention, which he said dragged on a bit. “There were many opportunities to go to the bathroom or check the microwave during this convention, because so much stuff lasted a lot longer,” he said.

Although ratings are pored over by the television networks and political campaigns, Thompson said “the real measure of success of convention coverage is ultimately judged not by the ratings, but judged by the votes of people.”

You know, I've heard of silly posts but this is one that stands out for stupidity. You're crowing about TV ratings but you're missing the fact that Biden got no bounce and is dropping in the polls. The only rating that counts is on election day numbnuts.

Are ballots mailed with a Canadian postmark valid?

Not surprising since the legacy media has been bashed on for years now. However, streaming services way outperformed for the RNC than the DNC.

[HoeHummer]

Of course it did. They can’t get AMERICAN TV in Russia, China and Iran... which is where the WSND’s get their marching orders, and audience.

Excellent points Secret E

How many votes will hh/YR submit from Canada - as many as it can get the mail carrier to place in his bag and tote.

Vote fraud is just part of the racist, Marxist usual election management.
