Tuesday’s NXT television show averaged 676,000 viewers for USA Network, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count down from last week’s 737,000 viewership count.
Powell’s POV: NXT finished twelfth in the Tuesday cable ratings with a 0.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from last week’s 0.15 rating. AEW Dynamite ran opposite NXT and produced 752,000 viewers for TBS with a 0.26 rating. The October 19, 2021 edition of NXT delivered 606,000 viewers and a 0.14 rating for NXT 2.0, which was also opposed by the MLB Playoffs and an NBA game.
First; I have no idea how viewership and rating works. Yesterday; NXT in Canada was only available via SportsNet streaming service; not through normal cable. Next Monday RAW will be on streaming as well. Is Canada included in the rating? Is streaming count included? Could this be the reason the rating was lower than last week?
Canada has its own ratings, so Canadian viewers don’t affect the numbers you read on the site. Nielsen is the service used to measure ratings for both countries, and most streaming sites are factored into their ratings. I hope that helps.
Thanks Jason; very much appreciated.
