The numbers I saw for the ratings ( I looked back a Drudge to refer back) were in the high 1's and 2's across the board network and cable (which is what the WWE weekend shows like Velocity and Heat run). Raw on its worst nights hit a 3 share. I dont have the hard numbers to compare just comparing what I saw earlier vs the usual for Raw last night. Raw did 3.7 last week and Smackdown about the same, and that is historically poor.
I must have misinterpreted Drudge but regardless if Raw had rating last week (which again is not good for them) they did more than hold their own against the entire lineup. However when talking about the convention, you probably show add up the ratings from all the networks combined.
CBS averaged a 5.6 rating/10 share in primetime to win by a comfortable margin. FOX took second with a 3.7/6, just beating NBC's 3.6/6. ABC was fourth at 3.2/5. The WB came in at 2.0/3 and UPN at 1.6/3.
FOX scored a narrow win among adults 18-49 with a 2.7 rating. CBS was right behind at 2.6. NBC averaged 2.0, ABC 1.7, The WB 1.1 and UPN 1.0.
Reruns of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Two and a Half Men" averaged 5.5/9 for CBS at 8 p.m. FOX took second with a repeat of "Trading Spouses," 4.2/7. "Fear Factor," 3.8/7, was third for NBC, beating ABC's "My Wife and Kids" and "George Lopez." The WB averaged 2.0/3 with "7th Heaven," while UPN went with "One on One" and "Half & Half."
