CNNMoney: A live stream of CNN’s Republican primary debates attracted a record crowd on Wednesday night. The stream was front and center on the CNN home page during the debates. As of 9:45 p.m. ET, about an hour and a half into the debate, the stream had 921,000 concurrent (or simultaneous) viewers, according to Alex Wellen, the company’s chief product officer. Wellen called the traffic “massive” — by far the biggest audience a primary debate has had on the Internet.
