With a roadblock on all the major broadcast networks and many cable outlets, Friday’s “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon drew about 83 million viewers, reports the Associated Press, citing Nielsen Co. figures.
That figure was for those who tuned in at some point during the event, which ran on 33 networks. The average audience over its two hours was 24 million viewers.
