It was more a general statement than one directed specifically towards RAW. RAW is in no danger as far as ratings go and tends to be in the top 5 as far as weekly ratings go and is usurped only by a couple of shows and sports...
Interesting enough, sports have remained largely immune to a lot of issues presented by DVR and illegal downloading as people tend to watch those events live and don't like it delayed...even by a couple of minutes. That's part of the reason we're seeing so much more sports on cable...which might be another contributing reason for the difficultly of RAW gaining traction in their ratings...at least compared to the Attitude Era. The same issues are being seen by network shows...especially in the male 18-34 demographic.
