After banking some pretty terrible television ratings, the Miss America pageant still inspired a lot of social chatter. The pageant topped the Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings this week.
At 9 p.m. on Sunday, the pageant received a 1.5/4 in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic — down 25 percent from last year — and 6.7 million viewers, according to traditional Nielsen ratings. That means it dipped one-tenth of a ratings point to its lowest demo number in the four years that it has been on broadcast TV.

In contrast, the pageant netted 304,000 event-related tweets that were seen by a unique audience of 4.3 million people. That was more than last Wednesday’s presidential address and Tuesday’s premiere for FX’s “Sons of Anarchy.”
