NewsNation and The CW Network combined to deliver more than 4 million viewers Wednesday night for the final GOP Presidential primary debate before the Iowa caucuses.
NewsNation, the fastest-growing network in primetime cable news, garnered the largest audience in its history with nearly 1.6 million viewers across the United States tuning in; among adults 25 to 54, the debate was watched by more than 350,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Fast Nationals. The CW Network, which simulcast the debate, delivered more than 2.5 million viewers and nearly 500,000 viewers among adults 25 to 54, making the debate The CW's most watched primetime program since 2018. In the New York City market, WPIX-TV's broadcast of the debate was #1 in primetime, drawing more than 300,000 total viewers.
"NewsNation was incredibly honored to host last night's debate, and we are very pleased that so many viewers tuned-in and watched," said Sean Compton, President of Networks for Nexstar Media. "This debate represents a remarkable achievement for a cable news network that is just barely three years old. We're very proud of the NewsNation team, the great job done by the moderators, and the overall production. In the end, the real winners last night were the nation's voters."
NewsNation has been growing exponentially over the last year, according to Nielsen. In weekday primetime, the network is up 73% in total viewers and up 90% among adults 25 to 54, year-to-date, compared to the same time last year.
Prior to the debate, NewsNation aired "Countdown to the NewsNation Republican Primary Debate," a two-hour news special hosted by Chris Cuomo and chief Washington anchor Leland Vittert. Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Vittert also hosted two hours of post-debate analysis and commentary from Political Editor Chris Stirewalt and a variety of NewsNation reporters and contributors. Ratings for those broadcasts are expected later today.
Preliminary digital results indicate that nearly 400,000 users livestreamed some portion of the debate via the NewsNation website or mobile app, with the app reaching record numbers.
