Former President Trump’s town hall event with CNN was a major ratings boost for the network Wednesday. 

The hourlong event, broadcast in prime time and moderated by anchor Kaitlan Collins, netted 3.3 million total viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research data. 

That figure represents more than three times the number of viewers CNN has earned during the 8 p.m. hour in recent weeks but is less than the size of the audience that has watched Trump town halls on Fox News and other networks in previous years. [emphasis added]

3 million viewers.  Out of the anywhere from 100 to 120 million viewers, on average, during primetime.
