Detailed viewership data will be available later on Friday. But the so-called "overnight" ratings showed a dramatic spike in viewership at 10 a.m. ET. Thursday, right when Ford's testimony began.
Interest remained high all day long, with a notable increase in the late afternoon and early evening hours when Kavanaugh defended himself amid questioning by Democratic senators.
The Senate hearing was shown live on the NBC, ABC and CBS broadcast networks along with most cable news channels.
Nearly 20% of US households with televisions were watching the hearings at any given time between 10 a.m. and 6:45 p.m., according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.
That percentage is an average, which means an even greater number of homes watched some part of the proceedings.
The Nielsen data only includes viewership via traditional TV. An untold number of others tuned in to the testimony through radio and streaming video, and at public viewing events.

Current subsidies in China were reduced by 20% in 2017 and will be reduced by 40% in 2019 and 100% by 2021. China's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credit system was announced on September 28, 2017, and will begin in 2019 with 10% of credits (12% in 2020) required from new energy vehicles (NEVs). That translates to ~4-5% of EV sales as market share for 2019. We also are expecting an announcement at some stage as to when China will ban ICE vehicles, noting BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY) Chairman Wang thinks by 2030. Others think it will be 2035. The pace of consolidations of Chinese rechargeable battery cell companies is accelerating. We made an assertion in our previous report that, with a few exceptions (CATL, BYD), most Chinese names would be consolidated due to the change of subsidy policy by Beijing, and that the industry is likely to become more oligopolistic. It appears that this trend is becoming more pronounced. According to SNE Research, the combined market share of CATL and BYD in the Chinese EV battery market has grown from 43.9% in 2017 to 63.6% in 1H18. China's subsidies are mostly for high- performance rechargeable batteries, and the NEV credit system, which was implemented this year, is designed to give more credits to companies that use high-performance rechargeable batteries. As such, high-end rechargeable batteries are likely to drive demand, but realistically only CATL and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY) have the capacity to make these batteries in China. BYD Co., Ltd. (OTCPK:BYDDY) (OTCPK:BYDDF) is the world's largest manufacturer of EVs (electric vehicles). It is also a major player in e-buses, e-trucks, solar panels, energy storage and batteries. In addition, last year it launched its "Skyrail" transit system. Founder and chairman Wang Chuanfu surprised the markets when he previously announced a planned ten-fold increase in revenues by 2025.Top Undervalued Stocks To Watch Right Now: BYD Company Limited (BYDDY)
