– DEMOGRAPHICS: Tuesday’s episode drew a median age viewer of 56.4 years-old, one of the oldest audiences of the year.
However, the show drew one of its largest female audiences of the year to broaden the audience.
The split was 70 percent m18-49 and 30 percent f18-49, improving on the show’s average split of 76/24.
I wonder if the appeal of Rey Mysterio is wearing off on viewers?
Could be the ebb & flow of viewership. Hard to tell with Lucha being such a young show with no real history to draw from. Season 1’s viewership was a fraction of this season’s, so it’s all fresh viewership numbers without any trends to go by. {JC]
