Analyzing the Viewership Trends and Key Moments from October 4

AEW Dynamite’s episode on October 4 witnessed a viewership of 800,000, a slight decline from the 855,000 viewers from the previous week. Such fluctuations are part and parcel of the television industry, and while the drop might raise eyebrows, it’s essential to delve deeper into the numbers.

The episode maintained a 0.28 rating in the coveted 18 to 49 demographic, consistent with the rating from September 27. However, a closer look reveals that the audience in this key demographic was marginally lower by 1,000 viewers, marking the lowest since the June 28 episode, which had a rating of 0.24.

SportsTVRatings highlighted that this episode’s total viewership was the lowest since May 3. It’s worth noting that the MLB Wildcard game between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies on ESPN, which aired concurrently, drew a whopping 3.238 million viewers, potentially impacting Dynamite’s numbers.
