January 18, 2020Smackdown Ratings goes up again this week.
According to ShowBuzz Daily, this week’s Friday Night Smackdown averaged 2,580,000 viewers. This is up about 4% from last week’s 2,502,000 viewers. The one good thing is the drop off from hour one to hour two was on roughly 72,000 viewers which looks to be the smallest drop off since moving to FOX back in October. As they always do on Friday Night CBS won with their three-hour block of shows but it is to note that they were down a few million viewers from where they normally are.
