During the fall season, the third hour has performed poorly live+same day. When looking at live + DVR, the second hour is the weakest link.<\/p>\n<p>On the DVR, viewers seem\u00a0to be fast-forwarding through the middle of the show to get to the end, boosting third-hour viewership. Or, people are turning off Raw early live on Monday night, then finishing the third hour on the DVR. Either way, there is a shift in how viewers are consuming three-hour Raws.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall Viewership &#8211; WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown, TNA Impact, ROH TV (Week of Nov. 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Live Viewership Pie: 5.885 million viewers, down from 6.116 million\u00a0live viewers last week.
