Nota sugli ascolti, che è significativa fino ad un certo punto (dipende pure dalla collocazione), sono usciti i rating per quarti d'ora.
Dalla partenza alta con Austin, hanno sempre perso pubblico in ogni segmento ad eccezione della mezz'ora con il tag delle Horsewomen che è l'unica parte della puntata che ha guadagnato leggermente pubblico (ultima parte della prima ora e prima parte della seconda), tutto il resto ha perso pubblico.
Va detto che la seconda ora aveva il finale della prima partita del MNF che ho letto è stata molto bella, detto questo era terminata già quando sono crollati nella terza ora.
The third hour of Raw did the lowest third hour in modern history aside from Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The main event ten men tag team match averaged 1,788,000 viewers, making it the lowest main event, aside from those two nights, in history.
The viewership was down 15.0 percent and rating was down 8.8 percent from last week. Viewership was down 22.3 percent from the first week of football season last year.
Raw was tenth overall, trailing several news shows, football related shows, and “A Very Brady Renovation†on HGTV that did 3,362,000 viewers, the first week of a four-part mini-series on Monday’s. It brings back the six kids from the original cast all on the same show for the first time in 30 years.
The first-to-third hour drop of 21.9 percent was the sixth worst in history, and considering the opening quarter did 2.6 million viewers, the actual show drop was 31.2 percent.
The first quarter with Austin was strong, but if there was one notable mistake, it was putting him first. The audience tuned out when he left, slowly, and the erosion continued throughout the show. There was no mention during the show that he would be back at the end, although at that point, once people saw him, I’m not sure how much it would have meant a second time. Overall the show seemed very good. The matches were better than usual. It didn’t drag. But the competition of football and people seeing what they wanted right away were the culprits.
As far as the first-to-third hour drop by demos, women 18-49 dropped 14.3 percent, men 18-49 dropped 16.7 percent, teenage girls dropped 16.7 percent, teenage boys dropped 6.3 percent and over 50 dropped 23.8 percent.
The quarters were slow erosion, other than the A.J. Styles vs. Cedric Alexander match coming after Austin dropped 320,000 viewers. There was a slight increase for the Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs. Bayley & Sasha Banks match. Rey Mysterio vs. Gran Metalik dropped 215,000 viewers and then the King of the Ring three-way dropped another 100,000. There was another drop for Natalya vs. Lacey Evans, and the ten-man main event dropped from there and was the lowest rated match on the show.
The first hour averaged 2,362,000 viewers. The second hour averaged 2,183,000 viewers. The third hour averaged 1,845,000 viewers.
Detto questo da settimana prossima avranno una sola partita contro, dalle 8:30. Quindi la prima ora dovrebbe teoricamente fare meglio
