  • YouTube’s first live event, a concert/award show featuring artists like Katy Perry and Akon, drew 700,000 viewers at its peak according to Mogulus‘ interpretation of data from Akamai.
  • Compared to TV, the numbers suck. Crappy shows get 3 million+ viewers. Still, not terrible for YouTube’s first attempt at bringing live video to a mass audience on the web.
  • The problem is, will advertisers care? YouTube’s audience demographic is all over the place.
  • Did anyone out there watch this thing?
