Preliminary Analysis: Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.5) rose a tenth and effortlessly topped an incredibly quiet Friday night. Close behind it was NBC with repeats of 'The Wall' (0.4) and 'Dateline' (0.4). ABC tied the peacock network with a 'Shark Tank' repeat (0.4) and an encore presentation of 'Truth and Lies: Jeffery Epstein' (0.4), the latter likely rebroadcasted to coincidence with the arrest of Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell. It previously managed a
1.1 rating when it first aired in early January. CBS was slightly behind the others with drama encores (0.3/0.3/0.3) while The CW's 'Masters of Illusion' (0.2) rose a notch and led into repeats of itself (0.1/0.1).
Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary ratings.
