According to the Observer: Charlotte Rates 6th In Inauguration Viewership
Nielsen overnight ratings showed Wednesday that 41 percent of Charlotte-area households tuned to the Obama inauguration this week, the sixth-highest rating in the nation and far above that of Chicago in Obama's adopted state of Illinois.
Raleigh was No. 1 in household viewing nationally (51 percent), Greensboro No. 5 (42 percent) and Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C., was No. 10 (36 percent). It was a snow day in much of the Carolinas, and that may have increased home viewing. (emphasis mine)
The snow day was absolutely a factor, seeing that Obama beat McCain by only 14,000 votes in the Tar Heel State. That, or the fact that North Carolina is intensely interested in Presidential politics. (I'd love to think this but this seems doubtful!)
For the record, I was tuned into the Inauguration the entire day!
