Bellator 204 does second-lowest numbers on Spike/Paramount to date

This past Friday’s Bellator show was the company’s least-watched televised event since the move to Spike TV in 2013.

The show, headlined by bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell’s move up to featherweight and scoring a second-round win over Noad Lahat, did 319,000 viewers on Friday night and another 94,000 via DVR prior to Monday.

While the lowest total on Paramount, or Spike, it would have been the second lowest for total same-night viewers.

The April 19, show, headlined by Michael Chandler’s win over Brandon Girtz, did 242,000 viewers on Paramount, but still had more overall same-day viewers with another 161,000 viewers watching the simulcast on CMT.
