CNN’s airing of “Good Night, and Good Luck,” George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s play about veteran CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow, secured 7.34 million viewers globally. That number reflects U.S. and international CNN viewership as well as the streaming numbers from both Max and CNN.com.

CNN said that its live telecast of Broadway’s Good Night, And Good Luck drew 2.011 million TV viewers in the U.S., topping total cable viewers on Saturday, while the network said that it also added millions more on streaming and other platforms.

George Clooney's Broadway play, based on his 2005 film, allowed viewers at home to see the actor's much-hyped turn as Edward R. Murrow through CNN's live television event.
