Bellator’s seventh live show on Spike TV last week once again scored improved live + 3 (DVR) numbers for its most successful Nielsen ratings score since its debut on Spike TV back at Bellator 85.
Last weeks Bellator 91, which combined number (live + replay) broke the 1.2 million viewers threshold, drew its largest DVR increase ever pushing over 20% additional.
This rise brought the show to a grand viewership total of 978k thanks to the live + 3 (DVR) numbers that were released today. Bellator 91 has now become the second most-watched Bellator event ever on Spike TV, almost beating out Bellator 85, which landed at 985k.
This weeks show also drew 0.8 – HH rating, a huge 0.86 in the M18-49 demographic and a 0.84 in the M 18-34 demographic.
This increase also brings the season eight total viewership average (with DVR) upwards a few ticks to 871k total live + 3 (DVR). However, it should be noted that overall household rating for the season remains around .70.
As a reminder, this adjustments was due to the live + 3 (DVR) numbers which will be released every Tuesday. For those new to Nielsen ratings terminology, live + 3 is a equal to a total of live viewership plus 3 days worth of DVR usage.
