July 27, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown drew 1.9M viewers for both hours on Fox Friday Night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The ratings reflect steady numbers in the A18-49 demo.

Friday Night Smackdown drew 1.985M viewers in the first hour and 1.956M viewers in hour 2.  It led networks with a 0.5 share in the A18-49 demo and a 4 share in males 18-49.  It did drop from a 3 share in hour 1 to a 2 in hour two in adults over 50.

The CBS lineup led the night with its programming.

Payout Perspective:

Friday Night Smackdown held steady from last week when it averaged 1.912M viewers.  There was little dropoff from hour 1 to 2.  The key demos still remain steady.
