By Wade Keller, PWTorch editor


SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

Last night’s (1/7) episode of NXT on The CW broadcast network averaged 957,000 viewers, compared to 626,000 the prior week and the 723,000 the week before that. The current ten-week rolling average is 684,000. This week’s show drew 310,000 more viewers then the prior ten week average (647,000).

(Note: Initially we reported the wrong total viewership this week in this report, corrected it right away, but then saved the wrong revision to the public site. Our report always correctly indicated the difference between this week’s total viewership and the prior ten week average. We regret the error.)

One year ago this week (1/2/2024), NXT drew 768,000 viewers on USA Network. The ten-week rolling average a year ago was 684,000.

Two years ago this week (1/3/2024), NXT drew 653,000 on USA Network. Then ten-week rolling average was 639,000.
