Wrestling on Australian TV

[PVF]

Looks like everyone was tuning into the Old-School RAW.

This week they didn't even crack the top 20 and 20th had 46,000 viewers. Quite the drop.

How many people in Australia would have Pay TV?

Ok just found it, Foxtel have 2.5 million subscribers.

yep, quite disappointing! It looks like a lot of people are only interested in the older product and aren't willing to give the current product a chance. Shame really, since we are in a great era of in-ring matches. Last RAW had some really exciting matches. Why don't these people watch WWE anymore?? Is it because it's not the 'cool' thing to watch anymore??

You watch, the rating will skyrocket in the next few months to about 60k +! Older fans usually tune in to the road to WM! If only they could stick with the product for the entire year!

As people get older, they just grow out of it and aren't really interested anymore. Nothing to do with it being "cool" or not, it's just not their thing anymore. Do you see any women past 18 playing with dolls and dollhouses? They're just not really interested anymore.

This week's RAW had 53,000 viewers and was ranked 5th on the Australian Pay TV ratings list for Wednesday 22nd January! Awesome!!

Just watched smackdown on foxtel and saw an ad that made me pumped

RAW finally airing LIVE from Feb 4th

 

[Crows_United_FC]

Well..today's the last time RAW will be shown delayed on Australian TV.
Next week.....RAW LIVE on FOX8. Never thought I'd say that.
I wonder how they'll cut from commercials, if WWE suddenly go to commercials unexpectedly??
Surely WWE tells then when to go to commercials?? Like I've said before, Sky Sports in the UK have cut away from the broadcast early a few times because they think the American commercials have started but rather it's a WWE Promo that doesn't look like it's apart of the broadcast.

So what time does that put it on TV?

About damn time, if the people in the UK can have it live at like midnight then why the hell can't we have it live during the day

We Aussies aren't falling for WWE's shit!

 

[Crows_United_FC]

Just a reminded to those who have never seen RAW Live before....The Americans take a lot of ad breaks. So be prepared to see a lot of commercials.
The one thing I'll miss about streaming RAW is the Americans commercials. Especially the fast food ones LOL!

 

[rooboy_07]

looking forward to this!

 

[Cleavy]

I hope the recording works properly, given the Americans love their 10-15 min overrun segments. (or do they not have those anymore on the 3 hour RAWs?)
