New York (CNN Business) 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. President Biden's State of the Union address in March averaged 38 million viewers across sixteen channels. Fox News carried Biden's address, and about 6.9 million people watched it on that channel, but not the hearing.
