Just a couple of quick thoughts. WWE Smackdown on MyNetwork Ch.50, while not producing the numbers it had back on the CW Network, is gaining viewers each week. I fully expect SD to get back to the consistent 5.0’s they were drawing on CW once everybody finds out where they are. Memphis Wrestling pulled ratings in all 4 quarter hours this week. WOOHOO!!!! Sad part is their final rating is less than 5,000 viewers. Both the replay of Impact and WWE AM outdrew Memphis Wrestling. WWE RAW more than held it’s on this week. Going against Monday Night Football and a Major League Baseball playoff game it still did a very respectable number. Can you believe that awful segment with Johnny Knoxville that was in the 2nd hour was during one of the highest quarter-hours of the show? I must have been the only person in Memphis who changed the channel.
Note: The ratings for RAW is listed as 2 separate hours. I will round off, to the highest number, the averages of both hours for the final rating.
If you have any questions or comments just email me at: rpg187@gmail.com.
Thanks and enjoy!!!
