RAW, SMACKDOWN AND OTHER WWE RATINGS

by Dave Scherer on 1/21/2005

Here is the ratings report for this week's WWE programming.

The 1/20 edition of Smackdown did a 3.8 broadcast rating, with a 3.7 share. That is the second week in a row that the show has done a 3.8 and will have the creative team doing cartwheels up at Titan Towers. My take on this is that WWE is benefiting from no Survivor on CBS and the anything-but-Friends-like Joey at 8 p.m. on NBC, along with the losing-luster Apprentice. Also, this week CSI aired a repeat, which had to help as well.

The 1/17 edition of Raw did a 3.8 cable rating, with a 5.5 share. The show did hours of 3.8 and 3.8.

The 1/16 edition of The WWE Experience did a 0.5 cable rating, with a 1.2 share.

The 1/16 edition of Heat did a 0.7 cable rating, with a 1.0 share.

The 1/15 edition of Velocity did a 0.5 cable rating, with a 1.0 share.

Oh, and for those who care, the debut edition of "The Ultimate Fighter" did a 1.4 cable rating, with a 3.1 share.
