Trump SOTU numbers down vs. last year

Coverage on the Big 4 networks (including post-speech analysis) drew 19.8 million viewers, pending updates, vs. 23 million for the address last year (which was technically not a State of the Union, as incoming presidents get a year before their first formal SOTU). In metered-market households, the four-network average was a 14.8 rating, compared to 16.0 last year.
