RAW Ratings January 2nd 2012

[Crayo]

January 2nd, 2012
Hour 1 - 4.533m
Hour 2 - 4.342m

Hour 1 did fine, but extremely disappointing for a stacked second hour, where the only filler was a 2 minute Diva's match. However:

Last Week
- Hour 1 - 1.5 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 1.7 18-49 rating

This Week
- Hour 1 - 1.8 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 1.7 18-49 rating

So Hour 1 received a boost in the 18-49 demo.

Overall, the January 2nd RAW averaged 4.44 million viewers, compared with 4.46 million viewers for the December 26th edition.

JERICHO RETURN WAS IN 1ST HOUR CORRECT?

 

[Crayo]

Pretty sure it was second, but because it went down doesn't mean it was his fault. We need the break down ratings to see where it dropped.

 

[Roach]

Yeah I was saying if it was first half people might of turned off after him because thats all they watched it for.

 

[Crayo]

Ah yeah, I can't remember quite when it was. It was either very beginning of second, or mid-second. It was after Punk/Ziggler which I think was start of hour 2?

 

[Roach]

Maybe, can not remember.

 

[leojay]

It probably dropped right after Jericho's return and the Punk/Ziggler match, because after that there was no real reason to watch.

 

[Crayo]

With the random tag-team main events WWE have a fetish with, you're probably right.

Not bad actual ratings, but it's bad that it dropped in the 2nd hour. Can't be because of Jericho, he had the top 3 trends on Twitter at one point (global). Think it was #Y2J, #BreakTheWallsDown and #ItBegins. All of them were the top three, so many people were interested.
