Fox News Channel’s Fox News/Google debate last Thursday averaged a 2011 record 6.107M viewers from 9-11PM, topping the previous high mark for the season (5.411M viewers for the 9/7 MSNBC).
The debate attracted 1.701M viewers within the key A25-54 demographic from 9-11PM. While strong, that was actually not a record for the 2011 debate season. The current record is still held by MSNBC’s 9/4 debate drew 1.728M viewers within the A25-54 demographic.
