Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show produced 993,000 viewers for TBS, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count was up from the 945,000 viewership total from last week.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished sixth in the 18-49 demo in Wednesday’s cable ratings with a 0.38 rating, down from last week’s 0.40 in the same demo. NBA and college basketball games finished in the top five spots in the Wednesday ratings. Monday’s WWE Raw finished with a 0.48 rating on USA Network.
Is there anything left, at least with Tony and the EVPs in charge, that can change their numbers? They had the World Champion, World Tag Champions, in ring debut of Jeff Hardy, and a Women’s title match in a cage that all but guaranteed the hometown wrestler would get the belt, and meh.
Q1: 1062000
Q2: 1007000
Q3: 996000
Q4: 1032000
Q5: 1023000
Q6: 911000
Q7: 971000
Q8: 941000
Q6 = Hardy’s v Private Party
Q8 = Baker v Rosa
People tuned out during the Hardy’s match, tuned back in for the start of the cage match, and then tuned back out. The drop in Q3 was the Danielson & Moxley v Taylor & Yuta match and the FTR promo.
Since the Monday RAW number was brought up for whatever reason, make note that I am pretty sure there were no college basketball games on Monday night….
Stone, thanks for pointing out when people tuned out…wonder why you didn’t mention when people were ‘tuning in”…hmmmm
The two biggest draws for AEW last night were the Big Bang Theory spillover crowd and Jericho’s promo segment.
I would be in awe that they haven’t been able to break 1 million in so long, but the quality of the product speaks for itself.
In all honesty, football needs to hurry up and come back so they can at least pretend they’re accomplishing something in the Khan demo again. It’s sad seeing kiddie show Raw thoroughly destroy them in everything.
