The Ratings Thread - a lot of people watched wrestling on Super Tuesday, sort of

Is NBC still not airing certain events live on their networks? Like gymnastics, swimming or basketball?

Wut? Gymnastics is literally on NBC rn

And everything is on Peacock

You do know the Olympics are taking in place in Europe? Hence why they're taped broadcasts, not live.

Has zero to do with your post...NBC and USA have replays of major events every night...

If it's not on USA during the day, it's live on Peacock...every event is there

It's just that we've literally had Americans complaining in the past on this site about NBC not providing live broadcast of events, when the Olympics are taking place in Europe. It's why I wonder how taped broadcasts put such a huge dent in ratings for e.g. wrestling.

They save the big things for prime time so they get more eyes...

Should be noted that all three so far have been down by about 23%.

No idea if this has anything to do with it, but kids are starting to (or about to) go back to school. My boys started yesterday.

Already? Do they go to reform school? I thought schools generally went back closer to Labor day.

Yeah, we have a different setup than most. Shorter summers, but several week-long breaks scattered throughout the year. For example, we have a Fall Break the last week of September. Already booked for a Sarasota trip. I honestly like it. After a couple months of entertaining kids and trying to keep them off screens, two months of summer is plenty.

It's gotten to the point that I am encouraging screens to keep them from driving me crazy. "Hey do you want to maybe play the Switch a bit?" Nah, I'll just agitate the dog to make him bark like a maniac

Yeah... The traditional 3-month summers don't work anymore. Especially with remote working. I have a feeling that our shorter-summer-schedule will catch on everywhere over the next decade or so.

Collision isn't out yet, but fast nationals have the number at 241k, so probably a little higher.

 

[Khelandros]

They were worse than the fast nationals had listed.

WWE Raw grew greatly from last week for the show last night after SummerSlam, averaging 1.73 million viewers on Syfy and drawing a 0.62 rating in 18-49.

The numbers are very impressive considering the station change and Olympic competition. Generally the episode after SummerSlam does among the largest numbers of the year. This show likely would have topped two million viewers on USA and without Olympic competition and done a 0.70 in 18-49.

WWE Raw draws impressive ratings for SummerSlam fallout

For the second straight week, WWE Raw aired on Syfy due to USA Network’s coverage of the Olympics.
