based on 7.2 household rating it likely got around 10 million viewers

so i guess some wanted to see it.I wonder why

1. It Was Shown On Network TV....

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't all the other debates on cable?

2. It was 8 million according to tvbythenumbers.com

Still decent for a competitive night.

3. I tuned in live for the first time this season

The reason why? The same reason why I've watched the GOP debates: Drama.

6. My guess is livestreaming options are the reason

NBC provided options for people that don't have or don't watch tv in traditional ways.

Times are changing.
