I'll wager that the total viewer numbers were closer to 30MM for the Democrats....and word of mouth built more viewership each night.

I watched the official Dem Convention stream through YouTube.

https://demconvention.com/news/press-releases/57-million-viewers-massive-tv-and-online-viewership-for-night-one-of-democratic-national-convention/

Broadcast:

On TV, the first night of the DNC averaged 20 million viewers across 13 networks.
This was well above the first night of the Republican National Convention, which averaged 18.1 million viewers on its first night on the same networks.

Streaming:

Across DNC/Harris-Walz online platforms, over 7 million people streamed the first night of the convention.

Digital Content:

Through partner-created content, there were 30 million views on content created from night one alone.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention credentialed over 200 content creators with a cumulative reach of 169 million people.
There have been over 2,200 downloads of DNC-provided content over the past week.


I didn't see Republican numbers when I googled.
