The TV ratings and viewership data are in for the Nov. 5 episode of AEW Dynamite on TBS.
Per Programming Insider, Dynamite netted 497,000 viewers and a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 year old demographic. That was good enough to rank 8th place on cable for the night in the key demo. These numbers are up from last week’s 459K and 0.08, when the show was going against the MLB World Series.
I expected a bigger bump in the ratings for Dynamite with no World Series competition, but it only got the bare minimum
increase. Next Wednesday is the Blood & Guts special, so that may end up being a peak of what we can expect for Dynamite under Nielsen’s new method for calculating ratings, which appears to be decimating the value of pro wrestling programming across the board.
