MNT will benefit from Smackdown, and CW will be hurt. But CW seems to be going for being the network for females 18-34 and did not feel Smackdown was a good promotional tool for that demo! ;) btw, season-to-date, MNT is averaging 860,000 1.13 million viewers per night during primetime vs. 2.6 million for CW.

I probably favor including the info for ION and MNT as well, but...I don't produce the chart :-) Josh, we do get weekly and season-to-date primetime averages, but Bill hasn’t included them in his weekly and season-to-date charts.

For reference, CW's ratings are about 2x MyNT ratings.

However, those eyes don't come with ears in a noisy bar. Some guy saying, "Dude" 20 times in a commercial is a lot less annoying if you don't have to hear him say it each time. As for 20/20, all it takes to get demo viewers to watch a "news" show on a Friday night is 2 hours of hookers. And I though sweeps were over.
