TV Ratings for Jan. 6 Hearing Are In: Viewers Changed the Channel in Droves

Ratings for Thursday night’s prime-time hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion show Americans would have preferred some straight news.

In a review of ratings shared by Newsbusters, a clear pattern emerged.

Every one of the three major broadcast networks that aired the hearing ended up with a smaller audience than if they had simply provided their usual news content.

For example, ABC’s haul of 4.35 million viewers for the hearing might seem impressive, but it usually draws 7.4 million viewers for “World News Tonight,” based on ratings from the week of June 1.

The same trend was repeated on NBC, where the novelty of a prime-time hearing attracted 3.31 million viewers, about half of the 6.06 million viewers who usually watch the news on NBC. Over at CBS, curiosity managed to attract 3.24 million viewers, but that was below the nightly average of 4.3 million viewers.
