The Smallest Audience Yet for a Debate

Nexstar knew that the GOP debate on News Nation would not come close to the ratings of the other GOP debates this year.

Nexstar hoped that putting the debate on The CW would help more viewers find it.

In the end, the debate averaged about 4 million viewers across News Nation and the CW stations.

Millions of viewers are less than the debates held on Fox and NBC.

I think this soundbite on MSNBC might have summed it up best.
