Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2003 by Dave Scherer This week’s edition of Raw did a 3.6 cable rating, with a 5 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That is the same number that the show did last week. The show did hours of 3.4 and 3.7. The highest quarter hour of the broadcast came from 10:00 to 10:15 for the Goldberg vs. HHH match, which did a 4.4. That means that the ratings went downward after that match ended and Raw lost viewers, which is always a potential problem when the main event is placed in the middle of the show. What is interesting to note is that even though the show did the same rating two weeks in a row, they were down in their core demographic from last week’s show, with males 12 to 17 dropping from 4.6 to 2.8 this week and males 12-34 dropping from a 3.9 to a 3.3. It appears that an expanded edition of Fear Factor may have hurt Raw in drawing the young male demo. It should be noted that the young male audience has dropped from watching television so badly this fall season that programmers are actually questioning Nielsen’s methods of gathering their numbers. Nielsen said yesterday that their numbers are accurate and young males are watching less TV and spending more time on DVDs and video games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2003 That's because most of the shows suck. I still have a soft spot for Survivor and 24 is good, but the only other thing I watch is sports. I am watching DVDs and playing games more than ever simply because the shows blow so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2003 Well at least they did not blame football for the low ratings this week. Looks like Raw is losing its main demo in an effort to gain some gurl viewers. So how long will all of these on air romances last before a sudden instant fix angle happens? This just in nobody wants to see fat bastard monsters wrestle anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2003 What a surprise. You put the main event on half way through the show the and ratings fall. You are supposed to keep ratings by building anticipation for the main. Good job idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RollingSambos Report post Posted November 26, 2003 RAW will continue to plummet down, down, down until it Vincent Kennedy McMahon takes his rightful place behind a buffet table with monitors on it...strings up those red, white, and blue ropes...picks buildings with poor ventilation...never changes the canvas mat no matter how sweat and blood-stained...and brings back true talent like Todd Pettingail in lieu of these trendy MTV VJ wannabes. A cozy 60-minute family show on the USA Network...that is what me and the rest of the fans demand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
