WWE Monday Night Raw ratings fall to record lows
In what seems to be a weekly pattern this fall, the September 28, 2015 episode of Raw set another record low, drawing 3.32 million viewers last night. With the exception of a Christmas Eve show in 2012, it was the lowest viewership for an episode of the show since 1997.
The number was slightly down from the 3.34 million viewers that set a record the previous week.
The culprit once again was a Monday Night Football game with the Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs that did 13.51 million viewers.
Ratings declined over the three hours once again. With football starting at 8:30 p.m., the highest rated segment of Raw is likely to be the first half hour.
The three hours were:
8 p.m. 3.48 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.33 million viewers
10 p.m. 3.19 million viewers
It was the second lowest audience, even including holidays, for a third hour of Raw in the history of the three-hour long show.
