RAW RATING DROPS
by Dave Scherer @ 10:19:00 PM on 1/9/2007
After doing a 3.9 cable rating last week on the New Year's holiday, this week's edition of Raw did a 3.7 cable rating, with a 5.4 share. The show did hours of 3.6 and 3.7 and did go up against the college football national championship game on Fox. It will be interesting to see if the Raw rating rebounds next week once football is out of the mix.
The 1/6 edition of AM Raw did a 0.6 cable rating, with a 2.4 share. There was no early airing that day.

Is that good or bad?

Considering there was a BCS game last week as well, and this week's was much less competitive I'd point to bad.

That seems about normal.

I'd say that is very good, and much better then it deserved.

I just hope they don't have that god awful Donald vs Rosie thing. I'm all for celebrity involvement in wrestling, but my god. That match was David Arquette winning the WCW Title bad. That match was worse then a Great Khali match just as bad as a 10 minute Voodoo Kin Mafia promo. That's how bad that segement was.

I'd say that is very good, and much better then it deserved. I have the feeling that much of RAW's regular audience is like me. I have Mondays booked off work because I generally take weekend shifts. I have nothing else to do on Mondays except go over to my friend's house and watch RAW like we have for six years running. Outside of the year and a half where I didn't watch any wrestling at all, I think I've missed maybe a dozen RAWs between now and the year 2000. It's more habit than anything. |

But you know what, that game was over well before RAW was even a half hour old.
People probably switched over, saw that awful Rosie/Donald crap and turned it off.
It's just funny that SD is now only .7 points away from RAW in pure number terms. Which is sad considering SD is the "B-Show" and on Friday Nights which is not a wrestling night. I'm amazed that the WWE can be so right on one show and so wrong on another.

Also, a 3.0 on regular network TV is more than a 3.0 on cable TV (I don't know how that works that's just what I hear) |

Well, that's because Smackdown's the show that gets no attention, and Micheal Hayes is using that (and the fact that Batista is the only discernable hoss on a 22-24 man roster) to his advantage. |

Smackdown is AHEAD of Raw in terms of actual number of viewers. Their ratings are on different scales. As you see this thread says "3.7 cable rating". Go look at a Smackdown thread, and you'll see "3.0 network rating".

I meant to say that too. More people actually watch SD than RAW. That's absolutely amazing. And considering SD is the highest rated show in the very short history of the CW, they have become the flagship of the network.

Wow 3.7 is much better then I thought raw would do in competition with the National Championship game. Next week(if peeps werent completly turned off by yesterday's godawful raw) The rating should get back over 4.0 for the first time since late July.

I hope more people watched Smackdown last week than that horrible RAW this week. Shows people are wising up to the fact RAW is a waste of 2 hours.

Looks like SmackDown! is close to reaching their 2003 boom period again at the rate RAW is going.

I'm not sure on the exact figures, but I'm pretty sure Smackdown's 3.0 network rating would be like more than 4.0 on the cable rating scale. Ratings are very confusing. |

Smackdown is THE A-SHOW! ;D Seriously, I want to see the breakdown of the ratings to see how the Segment From Hell rated. |
