CSPAN caller: “I’d like to know why Ambassador Yovanovich claims the former investigator was fired because he was corrupt, when at the same time what I hear from Rudy Giuliani and the Republicans is that he was fired because he was looking into the Bidens, which is also backed up by Joe Biden’s comments in regards to this…”

How long is the break?

They’ll be back at approximately :50 whatever time zone you’re in.

CSPAN was what demented olds and cranks watched for hours on end before there was Fox News. I swear they only had call-in segments just so we could laugh at the angry old lunatics.

My favorite CSPAN call in was the barely coded Dennis Hastert call out for being a child molester.

H&I is showing DS9 in sequence. Just started the last season. I’m watching episodes off my dvr during breaks or republican ranting.

Since there’s some time before they come back, I’m going to give a ratings update. It’s not easy to tell how many people have watched day 1, but a certain amount of extrapolation can be done by educated guessing. Here’s what we know for sure:

13.8 million people watched day 1 across CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, Telemundo, CNN, PBS, CNN in Espanol, and Headline News (on replay).

This does not count internet streaming (or CSPAN), and likely does not include DVR replays. It absolutely does not cover ‘the shows’ and analysis. Here are some internet numbers gleaned from YouTube live streams of the full hearing:

CSPAN-1.2 million views
CNN-1 million views
CBS-695k views
Washington Post-164k views
PBS-571k views
NBC-350k views
Fox News-581k views
Fox Business-94k views

That makes 4.655 million viewers across the live streams for a total of roughly 18.5 million viewers. Those are excellent numbers.

The Daily Show’s segment has had 1.8 million views, and Colbert’s has had 2.6 million views. I think it’s reasonable to conclude across all shows/exposure/etc. that at least 40 million people tuned in to some version of news or saw snippets of the first day of the public impeachment hearings. A decent amount of the public is interested, and those were the boring guys.

The Dr. Bashir reveal remains one of my all-time favorite twists
