DNC scheduling issue: Late night DNC speeches may decrease viewership due to local news or sleep schedules, the DNC should consider starting earlier to ensure a larger audience for their nominee
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week, including the speeches from Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Tom Harkin, created a culturally significant moment with the football players locking arms on stage. However, the convention went late into the night, with some speakers starting after 11 p.m. This scheduling malpractice is a concern for tomorrow's presidential nominee's speech, as viewers may miss it due to local news or their own sleep schedules. To avoid this issue, the DNC could start earlier, ensuring a larger audience for their nominee. For the record, Obama's viewership numbers went up at 11 p.m. last night, but they could have been even bigger had the speech started an hour earlier.
