Ah, just realized something, Monday dip coincides with NBA Finals (which were up year-to-year last I saw). As long as they go back to the 1.1 of the previous week then this is, relatively speaking, probably just a blip in the grand scheme.
I mean, a 0.5 was top five for cable this past Monday.
Also, drilling down (Showbuzzdaily site actually has better demo breakouts than I'm used to seeing published anywhere else), even with the lackluster total rating Raw still had 50% more males than the next closest non-sports program (Love & Hip Hop), and at least double the number of males of anything else including the sports on cable (Finals were on network I guess).
That's the hardest thing to get on TV these days - men - so it's still quite valuable to advertisers.
