Good question. I bet if there were they were all tuned in when Kennedy was assassinated.Were there 80 million people in the US in total when he was on the air?
The US population when he first was on TV was 181 million plus and well over 220 million when he retired. Now I have no idea what his viewer numbers were, but yes well over 80 million in population.Were there 80 million people in the US in total when he was on the air?

We were among some of the population at that time that did not have a TV in the home. I was a senior in High School before my parents bought their first. Just couldn't afford one.View attachment 383246
I still think he had more watching that day than the other broadcasters. I have no clue as to how to look up viewership numbers though. JMO
Now FOX news is suing Tucker for breach of contract because of that twatter post. He technically still works for FOX, until 2025 and is still getting paid by them.Not exactly. Unlike other sites, Twitter counts a "hit" after just one (1!) second. So anyone slowly scrolling through the tweets - even if they did not actually pause to watch the tweet itself - would be counted in that (slightly deceptive?) 80+ million number.
Of course, if as little as only 1/8th of those 80+ million "hits" (just 1-in-12!) were legitimate [and it certainly is likely to be a bigger number than that], then his actual viewership would still exceed his (excellent) Fox audience numbers! In any way, that's impressive.
