9/22 Friday Night Smackdown rating; show does well on its "CW" debut
On Saturday, September 23, 2006 at 9:41 PM EST Last night's 9/22 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown on the CW Network (its debut show on the new network) drew a final 2.6 rating. While a number like that would have been considered a huge letdown a few months ago, given the numbers the show has drawn in the last few weeks, it has to be considered a solid rating for now.
