Raw Viewership Up

[Deleted]

www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-monday-cable-originals-network-finals-5-20-2019.html

Hour 1: 2.681 million
Hour 2: 2.583 million
Hour 3: 2.299 million
Average: 2.521 million

Average is up 40,000 from last week, not really a giant amount but highest it's been since the Shakeup.

Edit: I typed something in wrong, actually up much more than that.

Brock and hardcore title =ratings

We need more brock!!!

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

That's not a great boost considering it's post-PPV and Brock was almost a guarantee.

40,000 doesn’t seem that high but I have to give them credit, a rise is a rise. Hope they can keep it up and make other changes to revigorate their product.

[The 1Watcher Experience]

That could mean a big push for Brock. I figured he’d pop the rating a bit.

[Sicho100]

The fact that it is up by 40,000 is actually better than it seems - last week, Raw didn't go up against basketball at all, whereas yesterday the last two hours went up against Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Blazers (which did 7.788 million viewers), so the fact that it went up, even just a little, is a bit of a win.

Brock your thoughts?

That's a hell of a boost considering last week Raw didn't face the NBA playoffs and this week's hours 2 and 3 when head-to-head against the Warriors vs. Blazers, which drew nearly 7.8 million viewers.

I replied before I read all through the thread. It's good to see someone else looking at context of ratings.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

This is what black & white graphics do.

I'm not saying the changes will work in the long term but at least they're trying to do stuff.

Ratings were declining for years and they seemed to just shrug their shoulders.

At least now it feels like they're aware shit needs to change and for WWE that's big.

The average is actually 2.521 million
+170k from last week.

Oh, yeah, you're right. I must've typed something in wrong adding it up.

[mcstoklasa]

Bork not a draw

I mean, that was clarified afterwards so I did see that.

So I stand by what I said but then number’s different I guess.

Probably good news for AEW if the viewership of WWE steadily increase because it shows their tv rights people there is a decent market for their service.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Well, at least the third hour wasn't quite as much in the toilet as usual.

24/7 equals ratings.

[Cyno]

Third hour came off as much less typical Raw than usual, so it probably helped to retain more viewers versus the typical bleeding it does.
