CBS says Couric’s first broadcast “attracted 13.59 million total viewers, finishing number one for the night and easily beating NBC Nightly News (7.76 million viewers) and ABC’s World News (7.58 million viewers) in the process.” The 13.59 million total viewers are the most for the broadcast since Feb. 16, 1998, which occurred the Winter Olympics in Nagano.
