Debate Viewership?

[imreallyperplexed]

The total audience for the Superbowl last February was just over 111 million. I don't expect the debates tonight to get that kind of audience. But they will be televised live on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and Fox. And it is primetime.

I wouldn't be surprised if the total audience was 35-40 million. Anyone else care to speculate?

I don't know exactly how they calculate these things, but it will be damned near impossible for a channel surfer to not run across it a few times. Does that really count as viewership?

I don't think it's going to set any records. Just a gut feeling...
