Ratings for the virtual convention held steady on its second, less-starry night.

The television audience for the Democratic National Convention held steady on Tuesday with about 19.2 million people tuning in live for the second night, down only slightly from Monday’s opener, according to Nielsen.

Those numbers will be reassuring to the Democrats producing a highly unusual televised spectacle without the customary you-are-there live coverage, although TV viewership overall was still down roughly 25 percent from 2016. Network executives attribute the decline in part to the virtual nature of this year’s event and the rise in popularity of streaming services.

The Nielsen figures do not reflect online or streaming views, which are difficult to credibly measure. Younger people in particular prefer to watch the convention online, though traditional TV networks tend to attract the older voters that Democrats are seeking to win over.

Tuesday’s top-rated network, MSNBC, increased its audience from Monday, drawing 5.24 million viewers between 10 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. MSNBC aired a mostly unfiltered broadcast of the virtual roll call and speeches by former Secretary of State John Kerry and Jill Biden.
