Friday night belonged once again to the CBS lineup of MacGyver (4.839M) and Magnum P.I. (5.870M) in the 8-10pm time slot. Shark Tank also posted 4.4M overall viewers in the 8-9pm hour.
The 0.5 A18-49 demo for Smackdown reflects a 0.1 decrease from last week.
Payout Perspective:
SmackDown ratings improved slightly over last week as the storylines focus on this weekend’s PPV and a continued march toward Wrestlemania. The decrease in A18-49 demo share should be something to watch as the company enters its most important quarter.
