Tuesday Final Ratings: 46 Million Watch Donald Trump’s First State of the Union Address, Sets Record Fox News Channel SOTU Viewership

Across twelve television networks, the total audience for the first State of the Union address from Donald Trump was 45.8 million viewers — slightly lower than his address to a joint session of Congress last year (47.7 million) as well as Obama’s first State of the Union address in 2010 (48 million). This figure does not include those who viewed the address on streaming mediums.

Fox News Channel was the speech’s top outlet, with a little over 11.7 million viewers, setting a new State of the Union record for the network.

NBC and CBS averaged 7 million viewers apiece, ABC averaged 5.4 million, the Fox broadcast network had 3.6 million, CNN had 3.1 million, and MSNBC had 2.6 million. An additional 3.5 million viewers watched it on Univision and Telemundo.
