Live Earth US TV ratings also disappoint

Live Earth's three-hour US broadcast on NBC averaged 2.7 million viewers, putting it last of the four major networks, behind ABC's repeat screening.

Seems that US viewing figures for Al Gore's Live Earth extravaganza weren't brilliant either. As previously reported, UK ratings for the global warming awareness builder were 3.1 million, compared to 11.4 million for the Concert For Diana event the previous weekend. The three hour US telecast of the event on NBC, featuring highlights from the various Live Earth gigs, and featuring The Police, Bon Jovi, Madonna and Kanye West, averaged just 2.7 million, putting NBC in last place out of the four major TV networks. Rival ABC scored higher ratings with a repeat screening of the film Monsters Inc and an edition of America's Funniest Home Videos. Though, to be fair, that's a great film. And those home videos are hilarious.
