Thread 18485472

Dynamite officially has the highest demo ratings of all wrestling television coming in with a whopping 0.53. Well above Smackdown.

>>18485472 (OP)
every day he descends further into madness just making up numbers

>>18485501
You’re coping so hard kek

>While nobody knows what the actual numbers are, Zaslav’s comments on Monday’s investor call seemed to throw cold water on AEW’s viewership on Max being significant.
>“Inside the U.S., sports has been less critical,” said Zaslav. “It’s viewed, but it hasn’t been a real driver for us.”
>Zaslav went on to note that HBO Max viewership accounts for for 25% of programming spun off from the WBD networks. This means AEW, which is not part of TNT Sports though is currently listed on Max’s sports page, would fall WELL BELOW below the 500,000 additional viewers on Max.

>source is Dave
Kek no

>>18485472 (OP)
Hahahahaa!!!
All those "rumors" of him owning a percentage of AEW really really got to him. I've never seen him cope this badly before.

>>18485472 (OP)
WW2 level mathematical gymnastics

>>18485472 (OP)
Literally just making a number up lmao

>>18485472 (OP)
where is he getting these numbers from?

For the record, WWF/WCW averaged 6.5 in the demos.

O.53 is nothing to brag about.

What the fuck? Where did he get that from?

>>18485472 (OP)
Goddamn it Meltzer. Now trev is gonna make the board unusable again and the last few days were so nice.

>>18485472 (OP)
I wish I could made up numbers at work to trick my boss that the company is doing good, but if I did that I would not only get fired but also sued for cooking the books.

>>18485472 (OP)
Is this the demo that matters now?

>>18485472 (OP)
Has anyone asked this goof for a source yet? And the following meltdown from him?

>>18485472 (OP)
Dave literally took this data, decided to fix it for AEW assuming that they follow the same pattern as shows that are designated for young adults like Euphoria and came up with AEW's streaming demo based off it. Someone lock him in a padded room.

>>18485869
>makes shit up because he's seething so hard
All he said was the app, MAX, skews younger on average. You cannot refute this and it has ruined what was probably already another shit day in your meaningless faggot life lmao

>>18485892
Meltzer gets paid by Tony. You do it for free. I finna call you a jAEWnnie.

>>18485892
>says the app skews younger
>posts a number with no source
I was just trying to guess at where he may have gotten his data from. No need to seethe like a psycho, cripple T

>>18485925
>no argument
>no data
>just conspiritarding
lol lmao

>>18485892
he said the real number is .53 which makes no sense since demo is a percentage and you can't compare the percentages between tv and streaming

it's hilarious seeing all the SHOOT RETARD e-drones failing miserably to understand this when he spelled it out clearly multiple times.

the lowest iq fanbase on earth.

Dave has already explained it before, there are different ways to measure ratings. 0.18 and 0.53 are not the same rating, he didn't add 0.35 to 0.18 to get 0.53. For example, NXT did 0.16 last night so their alternative rating would be 0.50 or something like that. The bigger number is the most accurate one because it's based on people having access to the channel.

>>18485970
So what’s the source?

>>18485968
>>18485976
>>18485968
Damn you’re very retarded

>>18485976
source of what? the nielsen rating? nielsen???
the .53 is calculated by grade school level math that measures the amount of 18-49 people who have ACCESS to the station that watched. the .17 or whatever the number is is all the people in the united states, whether they have access to the channel or not.

i have no idea why drones struggle with something so simple but here we are

>>18486012
>>18486030
I accept your concession.

>>18486040
you should be accepting admission into middle school instead nigga

>>18486012
So he's randomly just changing numbers because there are other people who don't have the channel. But that doesn't apply to the other shows for some reason. What the fuck is wrong with this.

>>18486040
kek what a bleating stuck pig

>>18486030
This is the same fanbase that struggled to read this, what did you expect?

>>18486012
Ahh so he is basing off that completely fake and illogical 500k number, isn't he?

>>18486078
Calling it retarded is not understanding it btw

>>18486057
you definitely don't want him applying it to NXT lil bro lmfao

Funny he pulled this out of his ass this week but never ever mentioned it before.

>>18486108
he has mentioned it many times in quick comments on the podcast, this may be the first time he said it on twitter and it got the piggies rioting

>>18486120
Why is this the first time he tweeted it? Do aewtist really need a win this bad?

>>18486012
Legitimately hilarious how he’s got these proprietary numbers just for AEW. It’s getting legit sad.

>>18486130
Unironically the type of shit TNA used to do when they ran Mondays.

>>18486125
>>18486130
sorry for your loss

>>18486147
I don't watch aew so I don't lose

>>18485679
need another comfy wave of covid. maybe bitchtits and trevor will both die while i chill and play vidya.

>>18486149
>I don't wash
fixed

>>18486166
I don't watch aew so I wash

>>18485501
Serious question, I’m not trolling. If the viewership is so high according to Dave why is no one going to these shows? Why is it so hard for Tony to fill venues ?

>>18485472 (OP)
I kneel, AEW-san

>>18486173
Well when you consider people having access they are do great live numbers like 80k

>>18486180
kek

Is the console war back on? I thought AEW was relegated to permanent TNA status but between this ratings and that gay ass ESPN deal I think it’s back on.

>>18485971
>if you look at 0.18 one way then it's 0.18
>but if you look at 0.18 another way then it's 0.53
Peak Meltzerism

Dave has been crashing out especially badly recently, and not being able to get WWE canceled for bringing Brock back, followed by them immediately getting a 1.5 billion PPV deal seems to have really broken him.

>>18486012
>[total gibberish]
Is Dave not aware that WBD can see the Nielsen ratings? Does he really think he can work them into believing 0.18 = 0.53?

>>18485971
>The bigger number is the most accurate one because it's based on people having access to the channel.

so if 1 person has access to a channel and they watch it that show is number 1?

>>18485659
Yeah, all the "demo" talk just reinforces how much less people those ages now watch cable TV. Arguments over what exact scraps each wrestling show gets out of that shrunken pie are pretty funny. News channels dominate cable now as older audiences are more into it and still have cable.

>>18486243
>console war is back on because one company got a billion dollars and the other got 700k viewers

>>18486012
>0.53 of the demo have access to TBS
>0.18 of the demo watched AEW
>There AEW actually did 0.53
Someone explain this to me

>>18486580
There is no explanation. It's nonsense.

>>18485669
his source is he made it the fuck up

>>18486580
.18 is the amount that watch out of total viewers
.53 is the amount that watched that have tbs
(I think) its badly written

why you would claim .53 as the rating is simply explained by Dave being paid off, because its simply not how its ever reported

>>18486633
>badly written
Dave is a Jew. He knew exactly how he wrote it.

AEWtists once again proving they're both shoot retarded AND terminally insecure

>>18486640
just because it was done on purpose doesnt mean it wasn't badly written

>>18485525
AEWtists have no response to this

>>18486633
>>18486633
I get what he is saying, but why is he bringing that other version up? He has never done that before or done that for WWE.

damn it's another drones can't do simple math episode

>>18486670
>why is he bringing that other version up?
see
>>18486633
>why you would claim .53 as the rating is simply explained by Dave being paid off, because its simply not how its ever reported

>>18486679
You mispelled Dave

>>18486633
>.18 is the amount that watch out of total viewers
>.53 is the amount that watched that have tbs
So he just assumes that 53% of the people that don't have TBS would watch Dynamite if they could. Fucking retarded headcanon

>>18486633
>.18 is the amount that watch out of total viewers
>.53 is the amount that watched that have tbs
If the total number of viewers in the key demo was 0.18 then a subset of that number can't be 0.53. It's mathematically impossible. Dave should stop trying to make up numbers because he's really, really bad at it.

This thread did not go well for Hoggers, easy to see why he abandoned it.

>>18486319
He literally said that .53 would be the number that stations internally look at because they're only concerned about cable ratings. Counting everyone in the country, despite most of them not having cable, is irrelevant to them.

You niggers are dumb as a brick, jesus.

>>18486957
The number that stations look at internally is 0.18 because that's the Nielsen rating. Try again.

>>18486998
I'll go with the guy who's been covering this for 3x longer than a random retard on 4chan has even been alive.

>>18487102
>that's how numbers were figured in the past

strange he only does it for aew all of a sudden

>>18486998
regardless of how the number is READ, it all works out the same because the placing of the show in the weekly cable rankings is the most important thing to the stations. and since dynamite is regularly one of the highest rated shows, it got a huge tv deal. it's not that hard to figure out.

>>18486173
>Why are more people watching from their homes than going out to shows?

big Smackdown fan?

>>18485472 (OP)
great now we get 7 days of e drones raging til the next ratings

>>18487147
>e drones raging

you lost to the wrestling school, again

>>18485659
>>18486518
>TV habits are different in 2025 & 1999

Scoops Jones here

>>18487157
Maybe RAW should learn something from its wrestling school, it might get a live US audience greater than 300K

>>18486173
>Why is it so hard for Tony to fill venues ?
Because between lil Bobby and lil Suzy birthday parties theres only so much room a Chuck E Cheese

>>18487102

Kek smarks have brain damage

>>18487191
Raw draws 1.6 million in the USA live lil obese troon bro

>>18487208
Went to one that had a Monkey Ball cabinet, it was was a huge deal for me

Is that Dana Brook??? Hell yes

>>18487102
Ill go with nielsen

>>18487274
Not in 2025

>>18486012
LMAO

>>18486243
you should probably take your medication anon

>>18486012
This is total mathematical nonsense, let's say 100 people watched the show, 53 of these people have access to TBS (and are in the target demographic), so far so good. Now only 18 watched the show, so the total number from the demo is 18, it literally can't be any other number. And how do you watch the show (and be counted as a valid viewer) if you don't even have access to the station to begin with?

>>18486307
Don't forget people finding out he owns 3% of AEW

>>18485472 (OP)
The demo was .18, we have all seen it already reported. He is such a fucking retard.

>>18487102
I’ll go with Nielsen and not Tony’s laptop thanks

>>18488179
why is this so difficult? the .18 is ALL people in the united states in the demo, regardless of whether or not they have access to the station. if you only count the demo of people WITH ACCESS to the station, it's .53. the percentage goes way up because 66.4% of the people in the demo do not have access to the station.
for the love of christ, please tell me what you don't understand?

and at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, because as has already been said, the weekly cable RANKINGS are what the stations are most concerned with. if dynamite gets a .09 and it's #1 for the night, guess what, it's a great rating.

>>18488258
>if dynamite gets a .09 and it's #1 for the night, guess what, it's a great rating.
So you want your show to be watched exclusively by people who never contribute anything? If that was the end goal, he should have funded NPR instead.

>>18488258
Brock Lesnar got 75 million views on YouTube

drones can't even do basic math

Lachlan was right

>>18488258
Absolutely nobody in TV gives a fuck about demos any more. This shit is hilarious to watch people argue about. Meltzer has completely miseducated you based on 20th century thinking

>>18488390
Lachlan got outbid by Big Dick USA though

>>18488382
Maybe on Planet Retard.
Skye Blue's ass gets more social media views than this sex pest.

>>18488400
>Absolutely nobody in TV gives a fuck about demos any more.
and here we have the clear winner for dumbest person in this thread, which is an incredible achievement. congrats lil bro

>>18488258
>the .18 is ALL people in the united states in the demo

Please stop this is embarrassing to read

>>18488401
He got outbid because he didn't want to pay even more for something that failed to ROI

>>18488428
are you embarrassed by your stupidity?

>>18488436
If that suits your delusional narrative sure

>>18485472 (OP)
what the fuck is he talking about

>>18488258
>if dynamite gets a .09 and it's #1 for the night, guess what, it's a great rating.
If advertisers had to spend exactly 1/7th of their budget every night, that might be true
but it's not, they can spend their money on whatever night they want
and if Wednesday ratings suck dick, they'll spend money on another night of the week instead

>>18488441
You really struggle to form sentences when you cant copy Meltzer talking points dontcha Hoggers?

>>18488449
>dronie calling anyone delusional

>>18488467
>No you

Concession accepted, bye

>>18488476
Why's you sign your post with your orientation?

>>18488466
are his talking points facts and math? because you seem to struggle with both.
>>18488457
weekly rankings are more important than nightly

>>18488497
>weekly rankings are more important than nightly
As a non-insider, I'm certain they're weighted in some kind of manner. You may not want to throw money at the 5th highest rated show on Monday which could otherwise buy ads during #1 on Thursday. But less inventory doesn't always mean higher/competitive prices, and stations always have Diabetes meds, generic dick pills or other slop ads they can throw in last minute. I've heard PillowCHAD Mike Lindell talk about it before, he would buy up unused inventory at cut-rate prices to be on TV as much as possible.

>>18485472 (OP)
Wow

>>18486580
It's high level maths, you wouldn't get it.

>>18488258
0.18 is the actual number. 0.53 is a number Meltzer made up.
