To celebrate Obama’s 100th day in office, the majority of television networks hosted an "Obamaganza" which was viewed by 28.8 million people, according to the Nielsen pollsters. That's a 29% drop from the president's last press conference, on March 24, and a 42% fall since his first, on Feb. 9.
Ten of the eleven "major" networks carried the telecast, and Fox elected to run its detective drama Lie to Me instead which may have confused many since the title could have also been used for the soft ball press conference. The ten networks airing the President's teleprompted speech averaged 2.8 million viewers each, while 7.8 million chose to watch the Fox Network's programming.
