This week’s edition of Monday Night RAW did a 4.1 rating (6 share), off of hours of 4.0 and 4.1. This is a solid score, but one can’t help but wonder what will the number be like next week, seeing as the show wasn’t good last night.
Experience did a 0.8 (2.3 share), while Heat did a 0.9 (1.6 share), which is rather high for both shows.
Of course, UFC was the big story in the ratings in the past few days. As reported earlier, the finale of The Ultimate Fighter on SpikeTV scored a 1.9 rating (now said to be at a 3.5 share). The replay of the special, following RAW on Monday night, did a 1.2 cable rating (3.4 share). Both scores are very good, with the Saturday one being very good news for both SpikeTV and UFC. There was no Monday RAW to lead UFC in, which makes a 1.9 score for a 2 and a half hour show on Saturday night tremendous. So good, that SpikeTV actually sent out a press release today, bragging about it.
In an interesting comparison, the two episodes of CSI before RAW did a 1.8 and a 2.3 respectively.
