In an effort aid those affected by Hurricane Sandy, multiple organizations came together to produce the “12-12-12” concert held on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The concert was the most widely distributed live musical event in history, accessible to nearly two billion people worldwide on television, radio and the Internet.
In the U.S., 19.3 million TV viewers watched at least a portion of the concert on television, which was carried live from 7:30PM to approximately 12:00AM on 15 networks. The average audience viewing the concert at any given moment was 5.2 million viewers.

I’m glad that many people saw Kanye West. Maybe now his career is over.
I agree when i watched they showed him for to long.
Only watched for the Boss and Billy Joel. I believe both gave respectable performances.
So basically not many watched. 5 million on avg is not much. So much hype. And some people said it hurt other shows ratings? How? All those show avg more than 5 million viewers.
Loved it–minus Kanye! He was out of place!
What a great show! Watched it from up here in Canada on AMC – seriously though….WTF was Kanye doing there??? Alicia was lovely
Ironically, I wish a hurricane would have just swept Kanye West of stage.
it was a great show. kayne didnt belong there and it was better than show they did for 9-11 tradegy
