McCain TV Ratings Beat Obama in Preliminary Numbers By Andrew Krukowski, Sept 5, 2008 Presidential candidate John McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party's event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research. Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change. NBC’s coverage of Sen. McCain’s speech started directly at the tail end of the opening game of NFL season, with the speech pulling in a 6.3 rating/10 share, topping Sen. Obama’s speech last week by 26%. That lead-in may have boosted audiences who last night turned out in droves to watch Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin introduce herself to the country. ABC’s showing of the McCain speech averaged a 4.5/7, down 2% from the same night of the Democratic convention last week, while CBS’ coverage took in a 3.4/5, an increase of 3%. Reader Comment: Jay J: Wow! McCain beat The ObaMessiah's viewer ratings?! And Gov Palin matched him?! Even as the VP pick?! And without the Baracropolis?! Hahahahah!!! Watch the Dems now beg for more money to beat those mean and evil Republicans, all while the media continues to talk about Palin's hair and her pregnant daughter but continues to ignore Obama's shady corrupt past and circle of "friends". tvweek.com
