Day 1 of the RNC2020 was down around 29% from 2016, roughly the same drop the DNC registered last week
was down in total viewership on both the 2016 edition, and the opening night of this year’s Democratic National Convention.

CNN placed second with just over 2 million viewers, followed by ABC with just under 2 million. NBC drew 1.7 million viewers to its coverage, followed by MSNBC with 1.6 million, and finally CBS with 1.5 million.
