WWE Achieves Unique TV Milestone

WWE programming was watched by 20 million unique viewers in a single week, the company revealed on Friday.

The figure comes from the collective viewership from broadcasts of ‘Friday Night SmackDown’ on SyFy, the special broadcast of WrestleMania 29 on NBC, new reality series ‘Total Divas’ on E!, ‘Monday Night Raw’ on USA Network and ‘WWE Main Event’ on ION Television.

Altogether, when added up, they are higher than the Nielsen average most often used because they count people who tuned in to a show for only six minutes. Nielsen typically releases those stats two days after a show airs.

The achievement itself is not a record as such, however is worth noting at a time when traditional TV viewing figures are falling across all forms of broadcast television.
