WWE SmackDown yields best ratings of 2020

January 19, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Friday Night Smackdown on Fox drew 2.616 million viewers in the first hour and another 2.544 million in the second hour on Friday night.  The WWE show drew a steady 0.8 rating in the A18-49 demo.

The telecast also drew a 6 share among men 18-49.  It drew a 3 share among adults over 50 in the first hour and dropped to a 2 share in the second hour. 

WWE SmackDown Ratings 2020

Date 1st Hour 2nd Hour
1.3.20 2.467M 2.369M
1.10.20 2.497M  
1.17.20 2.616M 2.544M

Payout Perspective:

Smackdown ratings were up in the first and second hour on Friday which is good news for the brand.  Even though it runs a solid 4th to the big three networks and CBS’ power lineup of Hawaii Five-O and Magnum P.I., it still does well with the young demo on Friday night.
