NBC scores highest-rated Democratic debate since October (Hillary Group) [View all]
Good thing there was no competing football game, "Walking Dead," "Game of Thrones" or other Sunday night wasteland of viewership programming on.
You know, "that" meme. 
Sunday night's NBC face-off between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was the most-watched Democratic primary debate since October, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.
The debate had a 7.2 household rating, meaning that 7.2% of American homes with TV sets were tuned in.
Actual viewership numbers for NBC's debate will be released later on Monday. Based on the 7.2 overnight rating, the debate likely averaged somewhere around 10 million viewers.
That's an improvement over the other two Democratic debates on broadcast networks this election season.
