Ratings for the week of 04/04/09
 

From PWInsider:

The 4/5 edition of Raw did a 3.2 rating and averaged 4,598,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.33 and 3.00. Dancing With The Stars drew over 20 million viewers and the NCAA Championship Basketball game (which affected both shows but more the second hour of Raw since Impact was almost over when it began) drew close to that. All things considered, the numbers are solid.

The 4/5 edition of Impact did a 0.85 rating, with 1,195,000 viewers.

Apparently the NCAA game drew its highest rating since 2005

It was obviously because of the lead-in.

If they don't make it permanent they're fucking morons.

impact did a 1.2 for the first hour

What was the second hour? I'm guessing somewhere around a .6?

And that just solidifies my point.

no idea but

** The show did quarter hours of:

.87
.85
.98
.93
.81
.88
.73
.70
.97


starting an hour earlier is definatly the way to go

Last night’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw scored a 3.2 cable rating.

Last night’s edition of TNA Impact scored a 0.9 cable rating.

The first hour of Dancing with the Stars, which was against the first hour of iMPACT! did 19.94 million viewers. The second hour of Dancing with the Stars, against both RAW and iMPACT!, did 21.93 million viewers. That’s freakin’ nuts. As previously reported, the NCAA Finals, against both RAW and iMPACT!, did 19 million viewers.



– As noted earlier, last night’s RAW did a 3.2 cable rating. We have received more ratings data.

** RAW helped USA finish in second and third place for the night.

** The first hour did a 3.0 rating, with the second hour posting a 3.3 rating.

** RAW was the lowest rated show in 2010 for the P/M18-49 demographic.

– As noted earlier, TNA iMPACT! last night did a 0.9 cable rating. We have received more ratings data:

** iMPACT! saw its largest average audience since 3/8.

** The demographics:

* a .84 in M18-49
* a .84 in M18-34

Note from Ryan Clark: Many people have asked why they would end the show with a lousy TNA Knockouts segment. The answer is simple – the Knockouts continue to draw the highest TNA ratings on a weekly basis so they built up that someone would be stripping at the end of the show. It’s actually a smart move although the segment was a creative disaster. If you don’t believe me, look at that .97 number above.

So that's a:

0.9075, rounded to a .9 for the first hour.
0.78, rounded to a .8
.97 for the overrun.
----
Which brings it out to a 0.885833333, rounded to what should have been a .9.

Impressive, honestly, and as far as I'm concerned, the second hour probably would have done the same as last week were it not for the lead in. I say they gained a bit over .1 because of that lead-in.

They need the lead-in.

RAW's rating was a 3.15 off hours of 3.0 (against hour two of Impact) and 3.3 (running unopposed). It was the lowest rated RAW of the year. The show drew 4.3 million viewers for hour one and 4.9 million viewers for hour two, averaging 4.6 million viewers for the two hour show.

Impact did a .86 rating off hours of .91 (running unopposed) and .82 (against RAW). The overrun, featuring the Knockouts strip tease, did a .97 rating and pulled the second hour rating up from what would have been a .78. The show drew 1.2 million viewers, the most viewers Impact has drawn on Monday night since March 8th.

Both shows had to deal with competition from the NCAA Championship basketball game which drew over 19 million viewers.

Tells me the steets should have been dead, cus everyone seemed to be watching something on tv last night. But I am actually happy for TNA, they had a fairly solid show for the most part last night.

Considering the Raw of the 22nd did a 3.0 and a 2.6 or less, I'm calling bullshit.

Of course, it's possible it was the lowest rated Raw of the year, but that would require the numbers to be much lower.

In the Impact thread I was saying how that Knockouts/striptease trash would kill the rating. It actually boosted it and was the second highest rated segment of the show with a .97 :$

why would it kill the rating?

wrestling fan :"a striptease from a sexy lady? i don't think so i'm changing the channel this very second"

i'm defiantly looking forward to the leather vs lace match :D

of course if they really want a trashy way to get ratings
'knockouts strap-on on a pole match'


make it happen vince

HLA hurt WWE. Figure out why someone would expect this to tank.

Because of how fucking stupidly it was moving. Something that should've been done 6 or 7 minutes dragged for around 15. Was so painful to watch and was only worth it for the 30 seconds Lacey was out

im not sure what or who 'HLA' is but im going to assume that it is fat-homo speak for 'disregard everything i say because im a fat homo'

It's usually a good idea to know what the fuck you're talking about before dishing out "clever" insults, kareru.

but i do

HLA = Homosexual Literacy Association

oooooh now is see
looks like kane knight and the HLA are going to have to sue the wwe, wwf style

Yeah, but if kareru had good ideas, he probably wouldn't try so hard to be "clever."

It was also poorly done. Most of the "outcome" could be self contained, but they had to add in a stupid game show element. 'Sides, did anyone really expect Lizzy Boredom to strip?
