1. Why is there a "that" here? Is it the object of “figure”?

2. Then what does "it" refer to?

 

[GoesStation]

Add "so low a share" before that.

 

[kadioguy]

So the "that" means "(so) that".

Is that right?

Add "so low a share" before that.

Indeed. Something like this is needed. Otherwise, to me, the sentence is ungrammatical.
Also, the comma after "him" is wrong.

 

[GoesStation]

So the "that" means "(so) that".

Is that right?

It's a misprint. The publisher left out some words. The sentence works if you put them back.

How about the original version? It looks fine to me. (The one above, as I quoted, is an abridged edition published in a Taiwan newspaper, for the reader learning English.)

But the only television station that consistently supports him, a bombastic and partly Hungarian-funded outfit called Nova24TV, has so few viewers — less than one percent of the television audience on most days — that it does not even figure in ratings charts.

That's fine.
