6/6 RAW NOTES: The drop-off from the second to third hour for the live broadcast was the largest in Raw’s three-hour Raw history (-16.8%). The gap widened in delayed viewership, as the second hour drew more DVR viewers than the third hour. The total decline was about 600,000 viewers.
5/30 RAW NOTES: The Memorial Day edition of Raw was one of the most DVR-heavy episodes of the year. The percentage of DVR viewership ranked #2 on the year thus far and the third hour was the #2 most-DVR-watched third hour this year.
