WWE SmackDown draws 2.47M viewers without live audience

March 18, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE SmackDown this past Friday drew an average of 2.470 million viewers.  The 2-hour telecast on Fox drew 942,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo and a household rating of 1.59.

SmackDown drew 0.9 in the A25-54 demo and 0.7 in the A18-49 demo.

Payout Perspective:

With the WWE going to no live audience, it made the telecast odd to say the least.  Ratings were slightly down but still within its 2.5M viewers average.  The night, as usual, was dominated by CBS although ABC and NBC had strong night as well with viewership up and over 3.5M for all 3 networks.
