Note: The whole program averages in the tables differ from those reported in the “Show report”. This is because the quarter-hour data available to us doesn’t cleanly separate Collision from Rampage. Minutes 10:29 and 10:30 pm belong to Rampage, not Collision, as shown here.

AEW Collision on TNT
Sat, Apr. 27, 2024: 8:23 to 10:29 pm
(PREEMPTED AIRING)

621,000 viewers (P2+)
P18-49 rating: 0.21

AEW Rampage on TNT
Sat, Apr. 27, 2024: 10:29 to 11:29 pm
(PREEMPTED AIRING):

293,000 viewers (P2+)
P18-49 rating: 0.09

Note: Collision had the lead-in from the NBA playoff game on TNT immediately prior, which started at 5:56 pm and averaged 3,043,000 viewers and a 1.00 P18-49 rating. With that benefiting viewership, this was the highest total viewership and P18-49 for Collision since Jul. 29.

Because it started at 8:23 pm, we’ll count this as a preempted airing for future calculations. Same for Rampage, as it was out of its normal time slot.

Competition note: The Maple Leafs vs. Bruins NHL playoff game on TBS, starting at 8:09 pm, averaged 1,138,000 viewers and a 0.41 P18-49 rating. UFC Fight Night on ESPN, mostly in primetime averaged 660,000 viewers and a 0.22 P18-49 rating.
