When is the second hour of "raw" televised? Ids it in the evening?

[chernobylwraiths]

Raw is on from 9:00 to 11:00 PM on Monday nights on Spike TV.

Don't ask how I know this. :D

Well, how did it beat out the NFL Draft?

From the numbers I've seen- the NFL Draft averaged a 4.8- an incredible number considering that was an average of the 7 hour televised event. Nascar draws around a 5. The NBA got killed with a measly 1.5 while the draft was on. If this wrestling show was on in the early evening or sunday- it was competing against the late rounds of the draft which had less than half the original viewers.

heres the link dozer its from official ratings company

Vince knows how to draw fan loyalty tho. Give the devil his due... his highest episode drew a 7.1 that was 3 years ago during the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. Those days they beat MNF most weeks.

nah they aren't head to head raw is on at prime time on monday nights. It is just the weekly ratings, top 10 shows.

LOL.... the NFL Draft number is an average of all 14 hours of coverage- The first round / first 2 hours did great- almost 5 million viewers- it tailed off considerably when the 6th and 7th rounds hit the air Sunday afternoon.


BTW- thanks for the link!

I did their ratings deal once. I kept track of everything on tv that I watched for 2 weeks, and received the kingly reward of $2.

You got the diaries- 100,000 of those go out each sweeps period.

These ratings came from the national sample (NTI) - 6000 HHs with TV monitors on them.

They are up there- for sure.

The demographics is where it's at- lots of under-35 viewers who blow a lot of income.
