Trump became the first candidate to announce his bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2024 Tuesday from his Mar-a-Lago resort. The ballroom where he gave his over-one-hour-long speech was packed at the time despite some guests attempting to leave before it was over.
ABC had its dating show Bachelor in Paradise airing at the same time. Meanwhile, CBS had its drama FBI on, and NBC showed its science fiction series La Brea instead of the former president's speech. CNN and Fox News aired most of the speech live but eventually cut away from the event to resume its regular coverage.
Bachelor in Paradise saw the most viewership among the 18-49 demographic at the end of October, per Nielson's ratings. It added up to a total of 2.3 million viewers, which was a slight increase from the week before. NBC got the second most viewers out of that same demographic, but its La Brea had a viewership of 3.5 million. CBS came in third within the desired demographic with its FBI program, garnering 5.5 million viewers.
The Nielson ratings for Tuesday night have yet to be released. On YouTube, CNN had roughly 481,000 views for a video featuring clips of Trump's speech among its 14.5 million subscribers. Fox News livestreamed the entire event on YouTube and saw roughly 918,000 views among its over 10 million subscribers.The former president's daughter and onetime presidential adviser, Ivanka Trump, was not present at the announcement.
Love my President! God bless and protect him.
Over a week, I heard MSM, MSNBC, even FOX try to STEER support for a future POTUS. Some Fave's on FOX labeled TRUMP’S SPEECH too long, lacked energy, etc., & Trump can’t win. Those Networks didn’t air the whole speech. NEWSMAX DID. I WATCHED. Those trying to STEER: FULL OF CRAP💩
Florida Man makes announcement
Who cares it’s the people that love him we don’t like TV networks
No one cares or needs the television networks. PLENTY of better alternatives.
people don't watch those leftist stations...watch NewsMax
It wasn’t a campaign announcement as much as it was a feeble attempt to avoid indictment, accountability and justice.
Wild that Hannity/Fox cut away from Trump. People seem to be tired of him.
They snub 45 and then say MELANIATRUMP and family are upset, when that's not the case at all! Why the media is fake and needs to be reformed!
Media should return to reporting the news because its destroying the country.
Yet if it wasn’t for bashing Trump they would not even be on the air.
as always, stopped watching those networks long ago
It’s true!!!! It’s as if they were not impressed!
They run January 6 non stop but will not do this announcement. We know the media is corrupt but they don't care if you see it in the open
