| Live TNA Impact Ratings are in...
Grom: PWtorch.com
Last night's live edition of TNA Impact drew a disheartening 1.0 overall rating. TNA officials can take solice in the fact that the first-ever live Impact went up against NCAA men's basketball tournament games. The other positive is the ratings increased pretty consistently throughout the show, which has not been the norm.
The show opened with 0.92 rating, dropped to a 0.87 in Q2, but then grew to a 0.95 to round out the first hour. The second hour jumped to a 1.0, but then dropped to a 0.89 for the conclusion of the first blood match and two commercial breaks.
It rebounded as usual for the TNA Knockouts women's match, and then finally saw a show-high rating for the final segment of 1.25. For a number of weeks, TNA women's matches in the middle of the second hour had been outdrawing the men's main events. Sting's return and a star-studded main event helped TNA peak at a 1.25 to soften the blow of an otherwise below-expectations audience level.
Considering that they went up against the Sweet 16 basketball this week I wouldn't say it was bad. Like the article mentions, it is cool that they grew in ratings throughout the show. Better than seeing the number drop or dramatically fluxuate.
What do you think of the ratings this week? |
