Overnight ratings for the fourth and final night of the conventions.

Six networks combined (FNC/CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC). Ratings are for the duration of each nominee’s speech only:

Democratic / Biden - 17.5
Republican / Trump - 14.1

It’s somewhat interesting to me that on the Dem side the gap between Biden and Harris overnight ratings (8%) was quite a bit less than the gap between Trump and Pence ratings (34%).

The length of President Trump’s speech, the longest acceptance speech in history, did not appear to have any impact on viewership. Looking at overnight ratings by quarter hour, the ratings held basically steady throughout.

Top-rated markets for President Trump’s acceptance speech last night:

West Palm - 18.9
Memphis - 18.9
Nashville - 18.6
Las Vegas - 18.1
Salt Lake - 18.0
San Antonio - 17.3
Pittsburgh - 17.2
Dallas - 16.9
Cincinnati - 16.8
Atlanta - 16.6

Top markets for Vice President Biden’s acceptance speech last week:

New York - 23.1
San Francisco - 23.1
West Palm - 21.7
Washington - 20.9
Philadelphia - 19.5
San Diego - 19.3
Seattle - 19.0
Denver - 19.0
Chicago - 18.9
Baltimore - 18.9

Fox News captured 46% of the viewing among the six major broadcast/cable networks that carried President Trump’s speech last night. Four years ago that figure was 31%.
