Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 The 2/6 edition of Smackdown did a 3.3 broadcast rating, with a 5 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That is up from last week's 3.2 and considering it went up against the Michael Jackson special on ABC, which did a 16.8 broadcast rating, I think it's a decent number. credit 1wrestling
Guest BoboBrazil Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Actually it isn't a good number. That 3.2 last week was due to it being preempted in several markets, so it should have been much higher. This means that the Hogan/Rock comebacks haven't done anything for Smackdown at all.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 To be honest I think its kind of hard to decide if the number was good or not because the Michael Jackson interview is too much of a curveball. Especially considering that most times ABC barely beats Smackdown in the ratings.
Guest HartFan86 Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 16.8? Holy shit. Michael Jackson sucks...I'd rather watch Benoit vs. Angle.
Guest El Satanico Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Michael Jackson may be many things...but he doesn't suck. Well at least he didn't use to, but he hasn't made any new music anytime recently so who knows he could suck now.
Guest Mad Dog Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Funny that Triple H is such a draw but Raw can barely beat Smackdown ratings wise. I mean it only is on in more markets and doesn't get prempted for local sports. Plus it doesn't have that other nasty habit of not being aired till Saturday.
Guest El Satanico Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Well Network ratings are different than Cable rating. I believe Smackdown actually beats Raw. Don't ask me to explain the difference because i don't know.

I mean it only is on in more markets and doesn't get prempted for local sports. Plus it doesn't have that other nasty habit of not being aired till Saturday. Actually more people watched Smackdown than Raw. Network TV and Cable TV ratings are different A 1.0 rating for Network is equal to= 1,055,000 households A 1.0 rating for Cable is equal to= around 800,000-850,000 homes I always use this as a guide, a 4.0 for Raw is the same as 3.2 for Smackdown.

When was the last time HHH was such a draw? 2000??? Plus network and cable ratings are different..........does RAW actually beat Smackdown ratings wise??? I don't know how it would factor out.
Guest Mad Dog Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Raw seems to get to a lot of places that Smackdown can't.
Guest El Satanico Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 That doesn't matter because each Network rating is worth more than each Cable rating.
Guest RenegadeX28 Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 I guess more people wanted to go to Jackson's Neverland.... (shudders)
Guest Choken One Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 Actually, I watched both and They each were very good. Although Jackson's case makes me sad.
Guest evlpurpose Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Actually if you think about it, most people who are apart of wrestlings demographic, 18-24 year old males, how many 18-24 year old males give a damn about michael jackson?
Guest Choken One Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 True, I expect mostly 24-49 year old to be the ones whom have a interest in Jacko, growing up under his influence.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Raw seems to get to a lot of places that Smackdown can't. I know it seems that way here, but actually UPN is available in more homes than TNN.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 I actually thought Mad Dog's first post was sarcasm, but hey... SmackDown owns Raw's slutty ass. Kinda sad, sometimes, when you think about the "big names" on Raw...
Guest Lil Naitch Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Raw seems to get to a lot of places that Smackdown can't. I know it seems that way here, but actually UPN is available in more homes than TNN. not in St. Louis.
Guest AnnieEclectic Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Sorry to be completely off topic here but... El Satanico: Bloodsucking Freaks is one of the most disturbing films I've seen. -Annie
Guest Mad Dog Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Yeah the first post was sarcasm.
Guest El Satanico Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Sorry to be completely off topic here but... El Satanico: Bloodsucking Freaks is one of the most disturbing films I've seen. -Annie Yes...Those fine gentlemen over at Troma never fail to deliver.
