SmackDown’s Ratings Surge on FS1 Amid World Series Preemption

Published on

The Blue Brand Garners Strong Viewership on Alternate Channel

Summary:
– WWE SmackDown, preempted to FS1 due to the World Series, reportedly attracted an average of 1,145,000 viewers.
– The show secured its second-highest viewership on FS1, with a 0.35 P18-49 rating from 462,000 viewers.
– The upcoming SmackDown may face another preemption if the World Series extends to a Game 6.

The October 27, 2023, episode of WWE SmackDown, which was moved to FS1 owing to the ongoing World Series, experienced a surge in ratings. The broadcast reportedly drew an average viewership of 1,145,000, marking its second-highest on FS1 in the ten instances it has been shifted from its regular slot on FOX. The key demographic, P18-49, saw 462,000 viewers, translating to a 0.35 rating. This performance is noteworthy, considering that in its previous eight airings on FS1 between October 2019 and December 2022, the show surpassed the 1 million mark only twice.

The future scheduling of SmackDown could be impacted again if the World Series progresses to a Game 6, scheduled for November 3. The Texas Rangers currently lead the series 2-1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The recent SmackDown episode was taped in advance to accommodate WWE superstars’ travel to Saudi Arabia for the Crown Jewel event. The episode features matches and segments including Bayley vs. Bianca Belair and a weigh-in segment with Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul.
