Television viewership figures are in for the latest Friday night doubleheader involving SmackDown and AEW Dynamite.
The viewership data was first reported by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
Thurston reported that the June 11th edition of SmackDown averaged 1,944,000 viewers and 0.48 (623,000 viewers) in the 18-49 demographic.
The numbers signify a 3 percent increase in viewership and a 4.7 percent drop in the demo figure from the previous week. Over the past four episodes, SmackDown is averaging 1,922,000 viewers and 0.50 in the 18-49 demo.
AEW Dynamite aired on Friday night at 10 p.m. ET for the third consecutive week with an average of 487,000 viewers and 0.19 (219,000 viewers) in the 18-49 demographic. The numbers were virtually identical to the prior weeks that averaged 492,000 and 0.19 respectively.
After three weeks on Friday nights, AEW is averaging 502,000 viewers and 0.19 in the demo.
POST Wrestling reported earlier today that in Canada, SmackDown averaged 228,500 viewers and 110,000 in the 25-54 demo on Sportsnet 360.
AEW Dynamite did not finish among the top ten sports programs in Canada with an average of 67,000 viewers on TSN 2. However, it should be noted that TSN did not have the show properly labeled on the guide and instead, listed WNBA basketball in the Friday at 10 p.m. ET slot and may have caused confusion along with DVRs not recording the program.
