Spike TV has programmed CSI repeats for the lead in to Raw, and so far it has yielded interesting results.
Right now CSI is doing about a 2.0 rating from 8-9PM on Mondays, which is lower than Raw but much higher than normal Spike TV shows. Raw had been starting at about a 3.1 rating, and now has about a 3.6 rating for the first QH.
The increase is probably a crossover of CSI viewers and Raw watchers at the same time, then the rating usually dips a bit headed to the top of the hour. This is a new pattern for Raw, which usually increased throughout the first hour. It will be interesting to see how this continues to impact Raw ratings tonight and throughout the fall.
