Yahoo Movies Ratings: WWE’s ‘Smackdown’ Wins Another Friday Night for Fox
It should come as no surprise that WWE’s “Friday Night Smackdown” battled its way to the top of primetime yet again last Friday.
The Fox broadcast netted a 0.4 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic. But its 1.9 million viewers wasn’t enough to beat ABC’s reruns of “Shark Tank” and “20/20,” which averaged 2.4 million viewers across primetime.
The rest of Friday night’s broadcast offerings among the broadcast networks was pretty ho hum, as many of them opted for re-airings.
Here’s how Friday night shook out among the broadcast networks:
