The August 6th edition of Smackdown Live was watched by an estimated 2.088 million viewers, up a solid 9.3% from the week before. Thus continues the back-and-forth flow of the Tuesday night blue brand viewership, which has essentially fluctuated between 1.8 and 2.2 million for the entire year, with very little exception.
Smackdown once again retook the top spot on cable this Tuesday evening, which drew a 0.63 rating in adults 18-49. The male demographic was strong as usual with a 0.8 rating, but female viewers were down to only a 0.46 this week. WWE is still having a hard time drawing the younger crowd, as adults 18-34 were only a 0.33.
