"SNIP.....

Brian Stelter: “On a chart of Sunday’s TV ratings, President Trump’s CPAC speech looks like the lift-off of a Space Force rocket. At least 5.7 million viewers watched the 90-minute speech on Fox News and another 1.5 million watched it on Newsmax. That’s about 7 times higher than Fox’s audience the previous Sunday, and 15 times higher than Newsmax’s performance. This is yet another sign of the GOP base’s loyalty to Trump…”

He adds: “Here is a flawed, but irresistible, comparison. The Golden Globes, later in the day on NBC, averaged 6.9 million, a record low. Trump reached 7.4 million across Fox and Newsmax. How many people watched both, you reckon?”

I believe there were other networks that showed it, and I'm sure it was also online.

Just sayin'
