WWE Raw Viewership Up Slightly; Show Dominates in Males 18-49 Demo


-- Last night's WWE Monday Night Raw viewership was up slightly in the overnight figures, generating an average audience of 1.897 million, up from last week's 1.884 million and in fact, the highest since Legends Night in January. The show opened relatively big, drawing over two million viewers in hour, holding viewers fairly well in hour two before a big downslide in hour three that prevented the show from eclipsing 1.9 million viewers. In the 18-49 demographic, Raw finished at the top of the nightly charts with a 0.55 rating, which is down slightly from last week's 0.58 but all three hours easily took spots 1-3. In fact, in the males 18-49 demographic, Raw was downright dominant, scoring a 0.72 rating, more than doubling second place but with no sports competition at all likely played a major factor in that. Among females 18-49, it finished third. Below are the hourly audience breakdown:

    * Hour 1 - 2.031 million (0.58)
    * Hour 2 - 1.921 million (0.55)
    * Hour 3 - 1.738 million (0.53)
