Thursday's Impact Wrestling Rating Is In

[Swift]

Thursday's Impact Wrestling scored a 0.99 cable TV rating. This marks the third consecutive week that TNA scored under 1.0.

This week's episode averaged 1.23 million viewers, which is down three percent compared to last week's 1.27 million viewers. The show ranked #30 in overall viewers, #15 in males 18-34, and #14 in males 18-49. In the key male demographics, Impact was down slightly in m18-34 and m18-49 compared to last week.

Last year's Impact episode this week went against a star-studded NFL Draft that drew a lower overall rating, but drew higher ratings in the key male demographics.

Q1: Impact opened with a show-low 0.83 rating for a Fortune re-formation tease, Aces & Eights attacking babyfaces, and one commercial.

Q2: Impact was essentially even at a 0.84 rating for the first-half of Taryn Terrell vs. Tara, one commercial, and various non-wrestling segments.

Q3: Impact increased slightly to a 0.88 rating for the second-half of Taryn-Tara, one commercial, and Rob Terry vs. Jessie Godderz.

Q4: Impact dipped slightly to a 0.85 rating for backstage segments, video packages, and two full commercial breaks.

Q5: Chavo & Hernandez vs. Aries & Roode drew a 0.77 rating over the first 30 minutes of Impact two weeks ago, then TNA slotted the re-match at the top of the second hour this week. The result was a 0.99 rating, which was slightly above Impact two weeks ago to avoid being the lowest-rated Q5 of the year. There was also one commercial in Q5.

Q6: Impact hurdled the 1.0-mark for the first time of the show with a 1.15 rating for Morgan-Hogan in-ring. This was followed by one commercial.

Q7: Impact dipped to a 1.08 rating for Mickie James challenging Velvet Sky for the Knockouts Title in the TV main event. There was also one mid-match commercial.

Q8: Impact increased to a show-high 1.22 rating for Hulk Hogan confronting Bully Ray and Sting returning at the end of the show. There was also one commercial.

Ratings seem to be quite low for quite a few weeks.

 

[airbourne908]

They keep getting lower.....

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Did they really call this a 'star studded NFL draft"---lmfao. Their was less star power in this draft than any over the past decade.

 

[Snowman1]

Still the draft got over 20 million viewers. Understand how TNA couldn't keep up

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Still they don't need to lie to try and make the low rating seem better. I don't think a single player drafted last Thursday night qualifies as a "star" right now.

See, nobody else cares about Team Mexico either. Which makes their decision to put them over Aries/Roode even more Blue.

Awful. Care to do something about it and shake things up a bit, TNA? Please? :dawg:
