WWE RAW hit an new low on Monday. The show, which was coming off the back of Survivor Series, scored 2.967 million viewers and a 0.99 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic. The viewership is the lowest for a non-holiday Raw since 1997, while the demo rating dropped below a 1.0 for the first time as far back as ratings could be found for it. The numbers were down 10% and 18% from last week’s 3.293 million and 1.21, a hefty drop in both especially considering that shows after PPVs usually get a bump of some kind. Also concerning is the fact that the show continually lost viewers throughout the telecast, where as of late the show has picked up at 9 PM or 10 PM.
The winner among cable originals was Monday Night Football as usual with 14.296 million viewers and a 5.12 demo rating. Those are better numbers than last week’s 12.185 million viewers and 4.23 rating. RAW ranked at #4 among cable originals.
The hourly breakdowns are below:
8 PM: 1.04 demo rating (3.190 million viewers)
9 PM: 1.01 demo rating (2.990 million viewers)
10 PM: 0.93 demo rating (2.712 million viewers)
