Only twice since the start of 2022 has Dynamite drawn a lower number. The episode didn&#8217;t have the type of marquee main event-level TV matches that Dynamite typically has, although it featured most of it&#8217;s major stars in various talking segments and matches against lesser opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamite drew 899,000 last week, 901,000 the week before, and 1,003,000 three weeks ago. That was the only 1 million-plus viewership since it drew more than 1 million six out of seven weeks from late August to early October in the lead-up and fallout from All Out which featured the buzz-generating C.M. Punk media scrum controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The average viewership the 13 weeks leading into this week was 907,000.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamite drew 0.27 in the key 18-49 demographic. It averaged 0.30 the prior 13 weeks. It finished no. 4 among all cable shows last night, but well under the 0.46 rating the NBA on ESPN drew, which was the top rated show.<\/p>\n<p>One year ago this week, Dynamite drew 869,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>The average viewership seven weeks into 2022 was 1,009,000. Through seven weeks this year, the average is 918,000 a drop of 91,000 or around 10 percent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1866661486\"><div id=\"pwtor-2780577977\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Last night&#8217;s episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 824,000 live and same night viewers on TBS, the lowest viewership since Nov. 16.
