However, there was a Christmas Week episode on December 23, 1996 that scored a 1.5 rating to set the all-time low-point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Raw&#8217;s three hours averaged 2.478 million viewers, down eight percent (about 206,000 viewers) from last week.<\/p>\n<p>It was the least-watched show of the year, but the first hour helped the show avoid falling completely off the table.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First Hour: 2.850 million viewers, the most since Labor Day<\/li>\n<li>Second Hour: 2.381 million viewers, down about 300,000 viewers from last week<\/li>\n<li>Third Hour: 2.203 million viewers, down about 430,000 viewers from last week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The third hour of Raw was likely one of the least-watched hours in the history of the show. It also continued the streak of Raw&#8217;s third hour declining from the second hour for the 28th consecutive week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; DEMOGRAPHICS: Raw fell big among the key demos, as expected. However, adults 18-49 seemed to fare reasonably well considering the competition.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2763991354\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Adults 18-49 was down 10 percent from last week<\/li>\n<li>Males 18-34 was down 18 percent<\/li>\n<li>Males 18-49 was down 14 percent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; Meanwhile, ESPN&#8217;s Monday Night Football game fell by 33 percent to only 8.0 million viewers after drawing 12.1 million viewers last week.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN put on perhaps the least-marquee match-up of the season with a regionally-focused game of Atlanta at New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>MNF had more room to fall compared to Raw, but Raw&#8217;s viewership falling 8-11 percent does not seem as bad as predicted against the most-watched debate in U.S. TV history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2789115780\"><div id=\"pwtor-3656029636\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Against the first U.S. presidential debate, Monday&#8217;s WWE Raw fell below the 1.8 mark to all-time low territory.
