Coverage of the first night of the 'Republican National Convention' didn't fare very well, and the hyper-partisanship of this era shines through when looking at the night's ratings. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC all declined from their 2016 'RNC' numbers while Fox News actually increased. Looking at the broadcast nets first, ABC led among total viewers (1.978 million), NBC was second (1.74 million), and CBS third (1.479 million). All three nets fell by about half from their 2016 numbers where they ranged between 2.6 million - 3.9 million. Among adults 18-49 & 25-54, NBC edged out a victory (401,000 & 541,000) with ABC second (380,000 & 521,000), and CBS last (308,000 & 424,000). Versus four years ago, ABC and NBC had the steepest fall in 25-54, down from 1.237 million & 1.637 million respectively (CBS had 785,000 that year).
On the cable side, Fox News dominated the night among total viewers (7.063 million) and adults 25-54 (1.572 million), the former up from 2016 (6.348 million) and the latter down just slightly (1.6 million). CNN ranked second in viewership (2.023 million) and 25-54 (610,000) ahead of the broadcast nets in both metrics; and MSNBC was down heavily from its DNC performance. (1.57 million/308,000).
