This is down from last week’s 1.855 million viewers.

RAW ranked #23 for the night in viewership on cable, up from last week’s #34 spot, and behind Rachel Maddow Show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, Last Word, The Five, Reidout, All In, The Ingraham Angle, 11th Hour, Beat, Deadline: White House, Special Report, Lead, Erin Burnett Outfront, Anderson Cooper 360, Cuomo Prime Time, CNN Newsroom at 2pm, CNN Newsroom at 3pm, Situation Room at 5pm, CNN Newsroom at 1pm, Situation Room at 6pm, and FOX News Primetime.

RAW ranked #1 for the night on the Cable Top 150, with an average 18-49 demographic rating of 0.52, down from last week’s #3 ranked 0.60. Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC topped the night on cable in viewership with 3.984 million, ranking #16 on the Cable Top 150 with a 0.27 rating in the key demo.

This is the second week where RAW had no football competition, and because of that the show took home the #1 spot in the key demo, but viewership was still low considering the lack of sports and cable news competition. This week’s RAW viewership was down 1.9% from last week, but down 13% in the 18-49 rating. This week’s viewership was down 24% from the same week in 2020.

The Bachelor on ABC drew an average of 5.245 million viewers on broadcast TV in the 8pm hour while The Neighborhood drew 6.410 million viewers on CBS, Ellen’s Game of Games drew 3.384 million viewers on NBC, 911 drew 7.208 million viewers on FOX and CW’s All American Stories drew 818,000 viewers, all in the 8pm hour on broadcast TV.
