AEW Dynamite Viewership Hits New Low Amidst Strong Sports Competition

Published on

Wednesday’s Episode Records Lowest Ratings Since June 2020


Summary

– AEW Dynamite averaged 672,000 viewers on TBS, a 5.5% drop from last week and the lowest since June 24, 2020.

– The 18-49 demo rating fell to 0.23, down 4.2% from last week, also tying the lowest rating in this category since June 2020.

– The decline is attributed to head-to-head competition with NBA and NHL playoffs, which dominated the ratings.

– Compared to the same week in 2023, overall viewership is down 17.4%, and the 18-49 rating is down 17.9%, marking 26 consecutive weeks of year-over-year declines.

Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw a significant drop in viewership, averaging 672,000 viewers on TBS. This marks a 5.5% decrease from the previous week and the lowest audience total for a Wednesday show airing since June 24, 2020.

Dynamite also recorded a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic, a 4.2% decline from last week. This rating ties the lowest the show has seen in this demo on a Wednesday night since the June 2020 episode.

The drop in viewership and ratings can be primarily attributed to the fierce competition from the NBA and NHL playoffs, which aired on TNT and ESPN. Despite this, no other non-sports cable programming drew higher than a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demo.

Year-over-year comparisons show a stark decline for Dynamite. Compared to the same week in 2023, viewership is down by 17.4%, and the 18-49 demo rating has fallen by 17.9%. This episode marks the 26th consecutive week Dynamite’s viewership has declined year-over-year.

The ongoing trend of decreasing viewership poses a challenge for AEW as they continue to compete with major sports events and strive to capture a larger audience.
