WWE Smackdown falls slightly this week to 2M viewers

May 23, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE Friday Night SmackDown drew an average of approximately 2 million viewers on Friday night on Fox according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The good news is that it did score the best A18-49 ratings for networks on Friday night.

The telecast was down slightly from last week.  The event drew a 0.6 in the A18-49 demo and a 5 share in the M18-49 and a 2 share for the over 50.

The telecast fell slightly from the first hour to the second hour but relatively maintained its audience.

Payout Perspective:

CBS won the night with its lineup of popular reruns although the most watched show of the night, a rerun of Blue Bloods, drew just slightly over 4.5 million which means that a lot of viewers took the night off from the networks.

Didn't know this was a thing but delighted it is.

Conor McGregor is a horrible, despicable rapist wanker and he should be the shame of Ireland. Well done The Burren

Maybe they should just call it the Ariel Helwani award and give it to other MMA journalists?
