Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified before Congress and once again viewers in out-of-home locations were interested to hear what he had to say, according to Tunity Analytics. The first portion of Mueller’s testimony (8 AM – 12 PM, ET), before the House Judiciary Committee, averaged 3.8 million OOH viewers across Fox News, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC. Mueller’s afternoon testimony (12:30-3:30 PM, ET), before the House Intelligence Committee, averaged a combined 3.0MM OOH viewers. The two sessions delivered a gross average audience of 6.8MM OOH viewers.
