The biggest thing on TV Wednesday wasn't the finale of The Masked Singer — it was former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen testifying before Congress.
Blanket coverage of Cohen's testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on broadcast networks and cable news channels delivered 13.51 million viewers, according to early Nielsen figures. Final numbers are likely to be significantly higher, as coverage on NBC and Spanish-language broadcasters Telemundo and Univision aren't included. Figures for those networks should become available Friday.
ABC's coverage, which ran from 9:45 a.m.-3 p.m. ET, drew the biggest total audience with just under 3.1 million viewers. CBS, which aired the hearing from 9:52 a.m.-2:07 p.m. and 4:19 p.m.-5:04 p.m., averaged 3.05 million. MSNBC led cable news from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. with 2.86 million viewers, followed by Fox News, 2.38 million, and CNN, 2.17 million.
CNN, however, led its cable competition in the key news demographic of adults 25-54 with 593,000 people from that age group tuning in. MSNBC drew 456,000 in the demo and Fox News 394,000. On broadcast, ABC (760,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo) topped CBS (666,000).
The hearing also propelled MSNBC to its best total-day audience ever (2.37 million), excluding presidential election days.
