Overnight ratings for the first presidential debate, all four broadcast network affiliates in Atlanta combined: peaked at a 21.0 for broadcast, might have had enough cable to match the football game (I don't get the cable overnights locally).

Just checked the overnights from the VP debate last night ... no idea what it did elsewhere but the peak quarter-hour last night in Atlanta was a 28.8 household rating, that's more than 33% higher than the Presidential round 1.
