Ratings Boost Amid No Major Sports Competition
Summary
– AEW Dynamite averaged 790,000 viewers on TBS, up 0.4 percent from last week.
– Show achieved a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demo, a 12 percent increase.
– Largest audience and highest rating since April 10.
Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 790,000 viewers on TBS, marking a 0.4 percent increase from the previous week and achieving the largest total audience for the show since April 10. In the key 18-49 demographic, Dynamite averaged a 0.28 rating, which is a 12 percent rise from the last week and the highest rating in that category since the April 10 episode.
The boost in viewership can be attributed to the lack of major sports competition, with the NBA Finals starting on Thursday night and the NHL Finals not beginning until Saturday. This absence of sports events likely contributed to more viewers tuning into Dynamite.
Despite this week’s positive numbers, the overall audience was down 12.5 percent compared to the same week in 2023, and the 18-49 rating saw a 15.2 percent decline. This marks the 29th consecutive week that Dynamite has experienced a year-over-year decline in total viewers.
However, this week’s show was up 7.5 percent in total viewers and 12 percent in the 18-49 demographic compared to recent averages, showing a notable improvement.
