Thats correct. The 4.3 million or however many viewers you see on a particular week comes from Nielsen ratings which comes from America. So that means 4.3 million Americans (with ratings boxes) are watching RAW per week.

Yup, but not every one has those boxes, I don't and I personally don't know anyone who own a neilsen ratings box .I would not take the ratings from Neilson owners as the correct estimate for all the WWE viewers in the USA. I have Comcast and I usually catch RAW on Youtube now adays, and I bet I am not the only one. Plus even if I don't watch it on Youtube, I watch it on cable which does not count my viewership either way.

I think some of you have slightly the wrong idea about the Nielsen system, it's not 4million or however many people with a nielsen box. They take a small (but large enough to be statistically significant) sample and then extrapolate the final number based on the viewership within the sample
