4/18 RAW NOTES: Raw’s delayed viewership fell even further than live viewership. The live viewership was down 5.5 percent from last week; the lack of DVR viewing caused the live+DVR total viewership to fall 7.0 percent from last week.
Included was only a slight increase for the third hour – the first time Raw drew fewer than 3.0 million live viewers in an hour this year. The third hour drew the second-fewest DVR viewers of the year, pointing to a lack of overall interest.
Overall, the total combined viewership was the lowest of 2016, the average DVR viewership per hour was the lowest of 2016, and the third hour drew the fewest total viewers of the year.
