Unofficial, preliminary statistics show that a milestone occured for the Saturday morning session of LDS General Conference: there were over 100,000 unique viewers across LDS.org, BYU.tv, and KSL.com for this morning’s session. Viewership is usually about 30% higher on Sunday.

The screen capture below shows the results Saturday afternoon at 1:39pm. Searches for LDS.org, BYU.tv, and LDS general conference were very popular at that time.

Yesterday during and just after conference the tag #ldsconf was the top of their “trends” as well.
10000? That’s it? I guess that’s streams, not viewers, but I still expected it to be significantly higher.
The number was 100,000 unique viewers (not 10,000). There were more streams than that, but they came from 100,000 unique viewers/computers.
