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.
