By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Barack Obama's campaign "infomercial" drew 26.4 million viewers to three major networks, proving modestly more popular than typical prime-time programing, preliminary figures showed on Thursday.
The Democratic presidential candidate's 30-minute message on Wednesday night garnered 2.1 million more viewers on CBS, NBC and Fox combined than those three networks drew in the same half-hour last Wednesday, according to Nielsen Media Research.
For NBC and CBS, the Obama ad marked an audience bump of 43 percent and 11 percent respectively over last week's action drama "Knight Rider" (7 million viewers) and the sitcom "The New Adventures of Old Christine" (7.8 million).
Fox did better last week with its World Series pre-game broadcast -- 9.6 million viewers.
The climax to Wednesday's baseball championship was delayed by 15 minutes to allow Fox to air the Obama ad without interrupting its coverage of the game.
The infomercial drew fewer than half the 57.4 million viewers averaged by the three recent presidential debates between Obama and Republican rival John McCain which aired on 11 commercial networks in all.
The Obama ad also was carried on the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision and cable channels MSNBC, BET and TV. No viewership figures were immediately available from those.




Mccain is still crying about how much money OBama raised. He is still surly because he got faked out by Obama. He was actually waiting for that phone call from OBama while obama was laughing his ass off raking in the dough!

STUPID old man

I am tired of this old fart

Cause they know damn well had McCain put together an ad, it'd be 30 minutes of pointing the finger at Barack Obama and speak nothing about what McCain will do.
