WWE Monday Night Raw TV Ratings for 1.09.12, courtesy of PW Torch:
WWE Raw on Monday, January 9 scored a 2.87 rating, down from a 3.10 rating last week and the lowest rating since December 12. It was also the second-lowest rating since September when the fall season began.
Raw averaged 4.00 million viewers, down 10 percent compared to last week and the fewest overall viewers since September 12. The first hour averaged 4.096 million viewers and the second hour dropped to an average of 3.92 million viewers. It was the fewest first hour viewers since Sept. 12 and fewest second hour viewers since November 7.
— Raw was opposed by the BCS National Title game, which averaged 24.4 million viewers, and the regular slate of History Channel opposition during the second hour to negatively affect Raw viewership.
In the key male demographics, Raw did finish #2 behind the title game among males 18-34, but finished #3 among older adult males 18-49 behind the title game and “Pawn Stars” on History. In overall viewership on cable TV, Raw finished #7 on the night.
CB’s Slant: Perhaps Vince can have Rick, Big Hoss, Chumlee and the Old Man from Pawn Stars as special guests on Raw one night to bump up ratings. After all, that’s one hell of a stable if you ask me…
