(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Jeong Yoon-seop = 17.1 million people in the United States watched an interview with Meghan Markle, who exposed suspicions of racism in the British royal family.
On the 8th (local time), Nielsen, an American audience rating research agency, announced that the interview broadcast of Prince Harry and his wife Markle of the UK had the most viewers among primetime entertainment specials this year, the Associated Press reported.
The interview with the Prince Harry was broadcast on CBS for 2 hours from 8 pm on the 7th, the prime time of the US TV broadcast.
The pre-recorded interview was conducted by Oprah Winfrey, the American’Queen of Talk Show,’ who made a relationship with Prince Harry and his wife.
CBS Broadcasting is known to have paid up to $1 million (10.2 billion won) to Winfrey’s production company Hapo Productions as an interview license purchase fee.
The Associated Press said, “In an era where many people watch TV on their own schedule, it is rare for viewers to watch an interview broadcast that is not a big sporting event.”
Bloomberg News also said, “More than 17 million viewers are a number that can only be seen at major sporting events,” he said. “It shows that the story of the British royal family continues to capture the hearts of Americans.”
