SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
The Tuesday, Nov. 8 episode of WWE Smackdown Live drew a 1.38 rating on USA Network, down from a 1.58 the week before and a fall average (Sept. 2 through Nov. 1) of 1.73. The drop across different demographics was pretty similar. The viewership total was 1.921 million.
Keller’s Analysis: This is a definite outlier and not really indicative of anything WWE should be concerned about. As a pre-taped show, with widespread spoilers, it might have taken a hit otherwise.
I think that is pretty good, all things considered… Taped show and a very tense election makes that rating not bad at all.
