IMPACT Ratings Up Again

[Testify]

The January 17th episode of IMPACT Wrestling had an audience of 1.6 million viewers (up significantly from last week's 1.3 million viewers). The show was heavily promoted around the wedding of Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan. The show scored a 1.15 (1.2) rating.

Guess what, it was a PROMOTED episode. Good job.

Can't argue with those results, maybe they'll get the message this time.

 

[Testify]

This year thus far, good job ratings wise.

1.14
1.03
1.15 (1.2)

Already better than last whole year.

Does it seem like every time they have a bad episode of IMPACT that's the one they do good on ratings?

Anyways they did a good job promoting the wedding as :testify: said.

Promotion is everything in a business, no surprise there. Stuff like that draws viewers.

Not for nothing, but Taz heading backstage led to the greatest increase in the entire show in the following quarter. :awyeah:

Still, highest rated segment was the marriage, no surprise there. Promotion leading to ratings.

Also, Q8 averaged 1.8 million viewers, while the whole episode averaged 1.6 million and a 1.16 rating.

Awesome stuff. Just wish TNA would realize the power of promoting.
