Good demo number, too. Raw did a 0.45 this week, overall.

I don't know much about the U.S time zones but Tony mentioned that the west coast is back to 8 pm instead of 5pm which was affecting the last couple of months. Hopefully we see the overall viewership continue to rise but that's a good demo.

I dont think moving to a new network itself would boost numbers but the show itself was pretty stacked.

Good for them! Hopefully a million becomes the floor now and they grow.

Great to see, I think the TBS move will be beneficial with the better lead-in and the West Coast back to an 8 pm showing. They may consistently start beating Raw in the demo now. They’re already 0.02 away and Raw has major competition the next 2 weeks.

I don't know much about the U.S time zones but Tony mentioned that the west coast is back to 8 pm instead of 5pm which was affecting the last couple of months. Hopefully we see the overall viewership continue to rise but that's a good demo. I think it had some effect for sure (Thurston thinks otherwise but his data behind that is fairly limited IMO). I think the switch on the west coast it had a large initial effect and some viewers eventually got used to it and started DVRing and watching it the same day which does count towards your same day viewership (although it could lower your overall rating given DVRing naturally lowers the number of minutes you'll watch given the ability to fast forward). Now we're doing it in reverse where viewers will need to get used to having it in primetime again every week. But it's a good sign overall that you still have that strong base of viewers in 18-49 that you captured from July-September. And they should keep it up with several hot feuds right now (Punk/MJF and the whole Elite/Undisputed storylines). Plus they'll have a new direction for Hangman soon, Mox returning, Eddie/Jericho likely feuding, Britt/Thunder Rosa (please do it already) and others so they're set up for success right now.

Wasn't nuts about the show at all but that's a good number. Hopefully a million is their new floor.

I don't remember all of the numbers offhand from that thread a few days ago with the ratings history of wrestling show network changes, but this is a really nice and consistent one, at least. Always a good sign when your fanbase is fine just ticking over a few channels and not just tuning in out of habit and bailing when it stops being convenient.

Best demo number since the NHL/West Coast f***ery on TNT and a solid #2 for the night. Good to see them do over 1 mil on viewership, too. I'm expecting it to get even better as more people get used to the switch.

I think TBS is gonna help them with their overall ratings floor. I think there are more viewers to be had looking at how many viewers the Big Bang Theory pulls in. The West Coast Feed being fixed helps too.
Hope that they stay at a million more consistently now, good stuff for them in their debut! The fact they're also rivaling RAW and Smackdown in 18-34 is crazy.

Jade/Ruby was the peak in 18-49.

Jade/Ruby was the peak in 18-49. Damn, that's sure gonna damage the rhetoric that Jade isn't a draw, what a shame...

The Black/Pillman match being a forgone conclusion plus lack of debut might have made the ratings drop like they did, will be something to monitor because this is a new Network. AEW eliminated the Q7 drops on TNT quite well, new network might bring that issue back in the short term, will have to see. Very steady throughout otherwise, especially with potential new viewers which is promising. Good for Jade/Ruby too, glad they got that number.

As much as some peeps here might miss seeing Ben Affleck's face once every three weeks, Big Bang Theory is actually potentially beneficial to AEW's lead ins and may be in the future too.
