Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 465,000 viewers for TBS, according to ProgrammingInsider.com The viewership count was down from the 638,000 viewership average of last week’s show. Dynamite finished with a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demo, down from last week’s 0.14 rating in the same demo.
Powell’s POV: The HBO Max streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count for AEW programming. The MLB wild card game between the Red Sox and Yankees led the night by averaging 6.757 million viewers. Tuesday’s NXT on The CW averaged 572,000 viewers and a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demo. One year ago, the October 2, 2024, edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 680,000 viewers and a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the Dynamite 5 anniversary edition.
Sickos say everything’s fine, haters say they’ll get pulled from tv soon. I doubt either is true, but Aew/network have to at least be moderately concerned, right? If they get to .05 or lower on weekday primetime, I dont see how they keep the spot.
This is categorically false. Nieslen is now releasing the “Big Data” version of their ratings which includes HBO Max.
And you are categorically obsessed with AEW to the point that it’s seriously disturbing. It’s a new ratings format and you know it, or you would have bitched the moment the ratings story went up. The line that triggered you when used for AEW ratings, yet never when used for Saturday Night’s Main Event ratings for some reason, is gone. You’ll have to find something else to bitch about, which I’m sure won’t be a problem for you.
