There's been an update to the AEW viewership for this week.

AEW Dynamite topped the night on cable Wednesday for their August 28 show, initially landing at 691,000 average viewers. However, it looks like that number was closer to 697,000 after correcting their number.

WBD issued an internal correction within the company and AEW noting that Neilsen times that are sometimes off by a few minutes with sports and programs with overruns that are granted. That happened with AEW this week, as Neilsen accounted for three more minute on the AEW broadcast. WBD said that ended up adding about 6,000 average viewers.

It was also noted from a WBD sources that the they're not as sensitive to the overall number as opposed to how the shows rank on cable. Dynamite hit number one this week in the P18-49.

People are going to be normal about this right

Yeah everyone obsessing about the raw viewer numbers when dynamite was still #1. I think I've seen multiple times that WBD just wants them to win their time slot which they do most of the time.

A three-minute overrun bumped their average by 6,000? Someone correct my math, but that would mean the overrun averaged 937,000. That seems unlikely.

Ratings for wrestling shows and attendance count. Is something I wish would die. It only creates problems for the industry and the only people who should give a crap are the suits and ties. The only people who tout numbers are usually all the wrestling accounts that people with common sense stay far far away from. You can report them without making it a weekly habit to embarrass fans. That’s why I stay here with the smart people.

Do not care as long as the wrestling is good!

If the over run time was included in the denominator, but the viewership was not included in the numerator, then it would bring average viewership down by quite a bit. Basically, if they assumed the average viewership was 0 for 3 out of 123 minutes, instead of whatever it was, that’d skew the numbers.

Fair. I thought it meant that the three-minute overrun just wasn’t factored at all into the original number

Who gives a damn, lol. Only marks care this stuff

So it looks as if they are starting to make progress, I think we expect so much for my company that is only five years old and comparison to a company that is like 70 has been doing this for decades let’s hold them into standard that they said not set by someone else.

In my opinion, the only time rankings will matter to me is when I hear the networks aren’t happy..which hasn’t even happened yet
