Donald Trump Super Bowl Interview Nets 12.2 Million Viewers (Not as Good as Pres Obama)

http://deadline.com/2017/02/donald-trump-bill-oreilly-super-bowl-interview-ratings-1201903376/

This comes up short compared stats for former POTUS Barack Obama’s pre-Super Bowl sit downs. But, among the important variables, the annual pre-game POTUS chat’s proximity to the actual Super Bowl impacts the interview’s audience size in no small way. And Trump’s first pre-game POTUS chat aired at 4 PM ET; the game started at 6:45 PM ET.

For comparison: Obama’s first pre-Super Bowl chat, on NBC, netted nearly 22 million viewers. And, O’Reilly’s pre-game slugfest with Obama, in 2011, bagged 17.3M viewers.

did they just have the TV tuned to that channel for the game?

Many were probably tailgating in their kitchen or visiting with guests and not paying attention.

That's what happened at the superbowl party I was at.
