SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…
Last night’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 1.68 rating, among the lowest of all time for the show. It went up against one of the most attractive NFL Monday Night Football match-ups Raw has ever faced with two 9-1 teams battling in a high-scoring back-and-forth dazzling classic.
The 1.68 is one of five times in the last twenty years Raw has drawn a rating below 1.70, all of them in the last 12 months. It’s a sharp drop-off from year-ago levels of 2.14 and two years ago this week of 2.14. Viewership dropped as the show progressed from 2.721 million viewers I’m the first hour to 2.502 million in the second hour to 2.256 million in the third hour. The first-to-third drop-off of 465,000 is among the highest of the year, although less than last week’s sharp drop-off of 619,000. The average drop-off this year is 323,000.
