CNN's climate town hall had 1.1 - 1.4 million viewers. Biden interview on Late Show had 2.4 million.

I'd checked a few times today for ratings for last night's climate town hall, and this Fox News story is the first reporting I've found. I won't post the link here, but you can google

CNN’s marathon town hall on climate change finishes behind Fox News, MSNBC

to find the story. It says CNN averaged 1.1 million viewers for the entire 7 hours, but with 1.4 million during prmetime, so the first few hours must've had under a million viewers. (Fox had 3.2 million viewers during prime time, and MSNBC had 2.2 million.)

Colbert's Late Show last night had 2.4 million viewers:

1. Go Joe go! We've got your back

2. Tragic statistics.

American's willful ignorance about climate change will destroy our future.

3. Well, if you watched, Warrens plans for 2035 are totally backwards of reality.

Whenever any candidate says we're going to not only stop building any new nuclear capabilities but shut down what we already have, reality has left the building.
There is no way possible to have 100% renewable in 15 yrs. We cant even mine the rare earth minerals needed to make all the solar required. Nobody ever looks deeper. Its not willful ignorance when you do the math & it doesnt add up.
But if she can win, thats all i care about.

9. Not talking about

...one candidiate over another. Talking about how few Americans watched.

4. Agreed. And OP headline didn't show Fox/GOP had 0.8 million

more viewers last night than a candidate's interview on late night programming.

5. Good to know.. and Joe Biden

brought up trump ".. caging children at the border.." on Colbert in the clip I saw.

Thanks, highplainsdem

6. I think those are okay numbers, could have been better certainly but

could have been worse as well and I hope that there are more town hall formats going forward.

7. CNN should show the Climate Town Hall again and again.

8. Hope he did better on CNN than he did on Colbert.

10. Another article, this one from Mediaite, on CNN's ratings for that town hall:

11. I typically have CNN on a couple of hours each night in between other things I'm watching......

....(I really don't "watch", mostly listen in the background while I'm doing other things). When that first segment started I switched to other things and never returned to CNN. The format was ludicrous.
