WWE Television Ratings

[SAIYANS]

Pwpix and wrestlezone had hours not quarters. I haven't posted quarters in here in months I believe


Last night’s episode of WWE Raw on USA Network scored a 2.75 ratings on Monday night. The numbers were down 8% from last week’s season-high 2.98 rating, primarily due to the strongest Monday Night Football, which averaged 16.1 million viewers.


Raw averaged 3.887 million viewers, down 6% from last week’s 4.155 million viewers for the post-Hell in a Cell episode.


In hourly breakdown, Raw kicked off with 4.069 million viewers in the first hour, decline to 3.951 million viewers in the second hour. Viewers declined again in the third and final hour 3.643 million viewers.


It was the third consecutive week that Raw’s audience fell from the first hour to the second hour to the third hour.


On cable TV Monday, Raw ranked #2 in overall viewers behind football game.

Total Divas rating:

The return of "Total Divas" from 10-11pm also scored for the network with 1.3 million total viewers and 746,000 Adults 18-49.

The fall premiere of "Total Divas" also surged past its mid-season finale on September 15 across all key demos including Adults 18-49 (+10%), Women 18-49 (+16%), Adults 18-34 (+26%), Women 18-34 (+27%), Total Viewers (+21%) and Households (+20%).

It's up by nearly .4 from the mid-season finale. Next week it won't have Keeping up with the Kardashians as a lead in either like it's had for most of the season, so it'll be interesting to see how it fares on it's own.

- Friday's episode of WWE SmackDown scored a 2.08 cable rating, up almost 10% from the previous week's 1.90 rating. SmackDown averaged 2.946 million viewers on Friday night, also up from the previous. This was the highest-rated and most-viewed SmackDown since March 22nd.

Almost 3 million viewers without the nba game on espn

Monday's taped episode of WWE RAW scored a 2.73 cable TV rating, down from the previous week's 2.75 rating. As noted earlier, RAW this week averaged 3.768 million viewers, which is the fewest viewers since the October 7th episode.

This week's show averaged 3.867 million viewers in the first hour, 3.834 million viewers in the second hour and 3.603 million viewers in the third and final hour which featured the big six on six angle to end the show.

RAW ranked #2 on cable TV Monday night behind the NFL Monday Night Football game.

Would say the rating is solid enough for a taped show especially in comparison to last weeks.

Total Divas Replay Draws Big - wrestlezone

The Total Divas replay episode that aired on the USA Network after Raw drew 1.2 million viewers. The original Sunday airing on E! drew 1.3 million viewers, so combined, the season debut did extremely well in numbers.

That's damn good for a replay

Dear smart asses @PHX @Dale @Chris since you all asked

For Raw on 11/4, which did a 2.75 rating and 3.89 million viewers, here is how the quarters went.

The Wyatt Family beating down C.M. Punk after the Punk vs. Luke Harper match, plus the Paul Heyman audio interview gained 32,000 viewers.

Ryback vs. Great Khali lost 414,000 viewers.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Kofi Kingston gained 31,000 viewers.

Randy Orton vs. Big E Langston at 9 p.m. gained 478,000 viewers, which is good.

Fandango & Summer Rae vs. Natalya & Tyson Kidd lost 128,000 viewers.

The John Cena interview talking about breast cancer awareness lost 446,000 viewers. The Cena & Goldust & Cody Rhodes vs. Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger & Damien Sandow match gained 638,000 viewers in the 10 p.m. time slot which is very strong.

Curtis Axel vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 1,020,000 viewers. That’s where that giant third hour drop came from and may have been partially due to halftime ending of the football game.

Usos vs. 3MB in a two-on-three match and The Bella Twins & Eva Marie vs. A.J. Lee & Tamina Snuka & Aksana gained 30,000 viewers.

The final segment itself with the HHH/Big Show settlement plus Show vs. Orton & The Shield in the handicap match gained 861,000 viewers, which is one of the best final segment growth periods. So it wasn’t the final segment that died and killed the third hour as much as the period from 10:15 to 10:45 where viewership was low.

:wight::ro::KANE:: Them legitimate non vanilla midgets.
* Now see you made me go there, but nice happy meal gains by that mini power trip

I thought Dale was the only one that asked.

I thought Dale was the only one that asked.

He was PSYCH is just being PSYCH lol. I already knew what it was anyways and a more accurate one at that I just don't care about ratings like that but here it is anyways.

The standard portion of Raw peaked with a 2.06 m18-49 rating in Q9 for the conclusion of the six-man tag match at the top of the third hour, which would have been the over-run for a two-hour Raw.

After Q9, the rating dropped off to a 1.74 rating, 1.75 rating, and 1.81 rating to conclude the third hour. Raw then hit an over-run rating of 2.23 for the conclusion of "WWE: Law & Order" starring Triple H, Big Show, and The Authority. The over-run was the highest-rated portion of the show, but was below recent over-runs in October.

Raw Break Down - m18-49 demo

- Overall Show: 1.93 rating and 1.215 million viewers.

Q1: Raw opened above-average with a 2.03 rating for C.M. Punk vs. Luke Harper and one mid-match commercial.

Q2: Raw stayed above-average with a 2.04 rating for Punk-Wyatts post-match activity, one commercial, and non-wrestling segments following up on the open.

The post-match activity peaked with 1.571 million viewers at 8:16 p.m., which was the most-watched portion of the entire show.

Q3: Raw dropped to a 1.88 rating for Ryback vs. Great Khali, one commercial, and the first-half of Alberto Del Rio vs. Kofi Kingston.

Q4: Raw was about the same with a 1.89 rating for the end of Del Rio-Kofi, one commercial, and Randy Orton introduced for a talking and match segment.

Q5: Raw got a top-of-the-hour bump to a 2.04 rating for Orton's "Ravishing Rick Rude" promo, match with Big E. Langston, and one mid-match commercial.

Q6: Raw stayed above-average with a 2.00 rating for talking segments, one commercial, and Tyson Kidd's return match teaming with Natalya against Fandango and Summer Rae.

Q7: Raw dropped off to a 1.86 rating for more video reviews of WWE: Law & Order, John Cena's in-ring promo, and one commercial.

Q8: Raw fell to a 1.78 rating for the first-half of the Cena & Rhodes vs. Real Sandows six-man tag, plus one commercial.

Q9: Raw jumped 16 percent at the top of the hour to a 2.06 rating for the end of the six-man tag, one commercial, and a few minutes of WWE: Law & Order that set up a third hour slide.

Q10: Raw fell 16 percent to a show-low 1.74 rating for Curtis Axel vs. Dolph Ziggler, one commercial, and more legal business backstage.

Q11: Raw was about the same with a 1.75 rating for The Usos vs. 3MB, one commercial, and a Divas tag match.

Q12: Raw remained well below-average with a 1.81 rating for the first-half of the Big Show-Triple H lawsuit angle and two commercial breaks, including the awkward final commercial before the top of the hour.

Over-Run: Raw finished with a 2.23 rating for an 11-minute over-run segment concluding WWE: Law & Order.

The over-run could have delivered a better rating, but WWE lost the audience as the over-run went on. The over-run peaked with 1.485 million viewers at 11:01 p.m., was at 1.414 million viewers at 11:05 p.m., dipped below the 1.4-million-mark to 1.399 million viewers at 11:09 p.m., and went off the air with 1.250 million viewers at 11:11 p.m.

Those are male 18-49 demo on the torch. Ignores females, kids, and teens all together

Torch excludes those demographics so they can adjust the numbers to favour people they like and not make Vince McMahon and his EVIL company look like they know what they're doing.

This is true, as Forbes has said 6 million females watch their raw and sd programs per week alone (not even counting Total divas) on average. That's a big fucking chunk to ignore, not to mention teens like we all were in the attitude era or the kids Cena gets bashed for catering to, so not accurate [MENTION=483]PHX[/MENTION], just skewed

I say more accurate because torch separates each match and segment doing minute by minute breakdowns while observer always groups stuff together that doesn't have anything to do with the other because it just covers the quarter and everything that happened in it.

 

[Deezy]

Kind of shows you just how more biased Alvarez is compared to Meltzer. They say numbers never lie, but you can skew them to make the point you want.

 

[SAIYANS]

That's stats 101.

And yeah Mak I get your point, just saying that he slants things because he doesn't want to point out kids, teens, moms, etc all who are a huge portion of this audience and paying customers/viewers. He should include that too but doesn't

 

[PHX]

I get that point as well though the reason that demo gets posted by torch is cause that is the largest chunk audience when it comes to WWE's programming but yeah both are skewed for the reasons given which is part of the reason why I hardly take ratings all that serious.
