The debate attracted about two million viewers ages 25 to 54. Debate ratings for the current election cycle have repeatedly set records for cable news; the previous record, 4.5 million viewers, was set in November by the Republican debate sponsored by CNN and YouTube. A Democratic debate broadcast last month by ABC averaged 9.4 million viewers. CNN’s moderator, Wolf Blitzer, was exceedingly lenient with the debate’s format on Monday, leading him to lose control of the conversation at some points. His hands-off approach was strategic, Mr. Blitzer said. “I wanted them to interact and exchange views,” he said Monday night in a telephone interview. “I figured I would be successful if I spoke less and they spoke more.” Tag CloudExternal InformationAdditional InformationFriends Provident investor Centaurus Capital calls for talks with JC Flowers...After a Judgment, Music Label Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy...
