RAW RATINGS STRUGGLE CONTINUES

The last 10 weeks of RAW compared to previous years.

Coming off of last week’s historically low RAW rating, this week had a virtually identical average viewership number but with a slightly different pattern.

The show opened lower, at 2.734 million for Hour 1 and only had slight drops in the 2nd and 3rd hours, to 2.686 and 2.633 million respectively, with an average of 2.681 million for the 3hr 14 minute broadcast.

It’s notable that the first hour trailed only the July 4th episode as the lowest viewed first hour since 1997.

While RAW is often the most watched show on cable, behind football, even when it does a poor number, this week the show was 7th in viewership on the night. The three individual hours did finish 4th, 5th and 6th in the 18-49 demo on the night with 0.93, 0.91 and 0.9 ratings in that demo.

This may not even be rock bottom as next week the show will air opposite the presidential debates as well as Monday Night Football
