TNA Television Ratings

[Troy]

The 7/28 edition of Impact did a 1.2 rating with 1,614,000 viewers.

Slight drop in the rating but remained at the 1.2 mark which is good for TNA.

 

[Troy]

The 8/11 edition of Impact did a 1.07 rating with 1,536,000 viewers.

Drop in the rating but the viewership only dropped a bit. Not sure if Kurt Angle turning heel will help the ratings.

 

[Troy]

The 8/18 edition Impact Wrestling did a 1.05 rating with 1.455,000 viewers.

Rating remained down. Maybe turning the most popular guy face in a ridiculous storyline has turned viewers away?

 

[Troy]

The 8/25 edition of Impact did a nice 1.22 rating, with 1,622,000 viewers. That is up from recent weeks.

After a couple of bad weeks this is a nice increase for Impact to get it back to the 1.2 range that they were hitting before.

 

[Troy]

The 9/8 edition of Impact did a 1.02 rating with 1,358,000 viewers. Considering it went up against the monster NFL Green Bay Packers-New Orleans Saints opener, it could have been worse.

Dropped again but the drop is understandable since they were up against the NFL. I don't feel confident for the long term ratings for Impact, and for RAW for that matter, whilst it is NFL season.

 

[Troy]

The 9/15 edition of Impact did a 1.2 rating with 1,638,000.

Back up to the 1.2 rating again. Let's see if they can hold that rating next week.

 

[Troy]

The 9/22 edition of Impact did a 1.08 rating, with 1,524,000 viewers.

Dropped back down a bit again. Next week's episode has the Hogan announcement I think so we will see if that draws.

 

[Troy]

The 9/29 edition of Impact did a 1.14 rating with 1,490,000 viewers.

Slight increase again keeping it just below the 1.2 rating. TNA, like WWE, seem to have there regular number of viewers and it doesn't really alternate too much outside the 1.5 millions viewers.

 

[Troy]

The 10/6 edition of Impact did a 1 rating with 1,376,000.

Ouch that dropped a bit again and it is just on the borderline. Would be bad if it drops below a 1 rating.

the main problem is marketing as TNA just don't seem to advertise enough, and when there guys are on TV talk shows they don't mention the company. Hogan and Falir don't mention them and neither did Foley and yet he is constantly mentioning WWE now and dosen't even work for them

 

[Troy]

I remember that they used to run commercials during RAW but you are right they simply aren't known to the casual fan. The big names do need to help promote the company more and the best example is Hulk Hogan. He is still everywhere in the media doing interviews and it would help them a lot if he plugged them each time saying that fans can catch him on Thursdays on SpikeTV.

 

[Troy]

The 10/13 edition of Impact did a 1.05 rating with 1,438,000 viewers.

Slight increase but still below the 1.2 rating that they were averaging for most of the past few months.

 

[Troy]

The 10/20 edition of Impact did a 1.35 rating with 2,019,000 viewers, their best number of the year

Bischoff and Hogan probably think they are geniuses BUT I would contest that Roode winning the title would have popped this same number if not higher.

 

[Troy]

Found an interesting stat that the rating for Impact after last year's BFG was 1.41 so this is actually a decrease compared to last year. Also this Impact had 7 minutes of wrestling, hopefully TNA don't get the idea that no wrestling equals a good show. Their name is Total Nonstop Action and the tagline is Wrestling Matters so hopefully they don't forget that.

TNA’S “IMPACT WRESTLING “ ON SPIKE TV DRAWS RECORD RATINGS ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20

New York, NY, October 25, 2011 – TNA’s “IMPACT WRESTLING” on Thursday, October 20 (9:00-11:00pm ET/PT) drew over 2.2 million viewers, making it the highest watched show in its Thursday night timeslot ever and the second-most watched episode in the six years it has aired on Spike TV. The highest being a special Monday night telecast in January 2010 featuring the TNA debut of Hulk Hogan.

The Spike TV telecast ranked #2 in the hard-to-reach demographic of 18-49, placing second behind MTV’s megahit, “Jersey Shore.” The event featured the crowning of a new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, James Storm, who defeated his arch nemesis and former Olympic champ, Kurt Angle.

This Thursday, “IMPACT WRESTLING” will feature TNA Heavyweight Champion James Storm in action, the in-ring return of Jeff Hardy as well as TNA Knockout Gail Kim. Also appearing are “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles and many more.


Considering this came from the TNA website i don't know if this is official, It could well be. If thats the case then it seems Hogan does draw...A little.
