The viewership numbers for the November 24 episode of AEW Dynamite are (finally) out, and they’re down from the previous week.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics shared the figures on November 29; they were delayed due to the Thanksgiving holiday. According to Thurston, 898,000 viewers watced the show this past Wednesday night, and it scored a 0.31 rating (408.000 viewers) in the 18 to 49 demographic. These numbers are down from the November 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, when 984,000 viewers tuned in. This show scored a 0.37 rating in P18-49 (486,000 viewers), so the viewership of the November 24 episode decreased in both key figures.
Using Showbuzz Daily‘s numbers, Thurston noted that Dynamite ranked sixth in the key demographic among cable originals on Wednesday and thirteenth overall. November 24 was the day before Thanksgiving, so it was fair to expect a drop ahead of the holiday.
Dynamite ranked #6 for the day in P18-49 among cable originals, according to Showbuzz, and #13 on TV overall.
Survivor on CBS and an NBA game on ESPN led the day.
Earlier reported fast nationals, which are almost always lower than finals, had Dynamite at 809k and 344k in 18-49.
