CNN
More than 20 million TV viewers tuned in to Thursday's prime-time presentation about the January 6 attack, and it reached a far larger number through all manner of social and old-school media.
According to early Nielsen estimates, nine of the channels that carried the hearing averaged a combined 19 million viewers during the two-hour hearing. This data doesn't count every TV channel, however, or most web streaming, so the true total is larger.
