Dynamite rating April 19th

[markymark]

Same demo as last week.

I assume the coast to coast live thing didn't help this week given it was what a 5PM start time for west coast viewers?

NBA Playoffs are probably gonna keep the show around the same for a bit

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Excellent number given the competition and airing at 5PM on the west coast.

[markymark]

BCC and Elite being the highest point outside of the opener was deserved.

[Chiral]

If they can get more angles as compelling as BCC vs Elite with its "Oh my god what comes next" vibes on the show that'd help ratings a lot I bet.

It seems the Elite consistently gets the most compelling storylines ever since Aew debuted.

Taking out booking powers from then in a knee jerk reaction was probably a mistake

Oh, hath another middling fortune befallen AEW once more? Do the halls of folly ring with any sound but that of the trampling of dreams? Of 830,000 souls crying out in agony for the unreachable. The pillars crumble; not the indieriffic fools you cheer as false idols, but the pillars upholding the monument to vanity and misplaced price, and all who try to hold its rubble up shall be crushed. Will your bones crunch and your blood run for Tony Khan's Tower of Babel?

At this rate I don't even think CM Punk will get them back to 1 million viewers. It seems like this 800,000k viewership is their new average.

It's not, wait till the Summer to decide that tbh, because that's usually when they have a few shows hit a million consistently

They aren't gonna do that with the NBA Playoffs.

Ratings are hard.

Be harder.

Down around 100K and .10 in the demo from last year. And yes, for you excuse-makers, there was NBA last year as well.

But hey, better than expected, right? lol

I'm very critical of AEW when it comes to ratings and other things, So I'm one of the last people to make excuses for it. Could it be better? sure.
Is it bad? not really. You gotta ease back on the antagonistic tone.

That’s true, but the trend of being down year over year goes back well before this past week. It’s not dire as it’s still a very solid demo and almost in line with cord cutting but there’s definitely a noticeable dip in the demo.

My block list is pretty big.

I guess I just get irritated with passive-aggressive people too easily.

[ghost]

People are mentioning the NBA, but Vanderpump is creating some distance in the demo as well. I saw my wife watching it this week. It's insanely popular and I don't know why.
