Astro101 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Per PWI: The 12/31 New Year's Eve edition of TNA Impact, which aired at in a special timeslot of 8 PM Eastern, scored a a 0.8 cable rating with a 1.5 share. TNA's midnight 30 minute edition of Impact featuring the announcement of Sting's debut and AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels challenging NWA World Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted scored a 0.7 cable rating with a 1.6 share. The Monday night replay of each, which aired in a 90 minute block on 1/2, scored a 0.5 cable rating with a 1.4 share. ----------------- I truly thought it could possibly go as low as .5 or .6...but it shows that the fans that TNA has will continue to watch. Good news that the ratings stayed the same, though in the earlier timeslot...but a .7 at midnight is also good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Man, TNA needs to show some damn growth on their ratings. I know this was a holiday show but they need to improve improve improve.

dubq 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Like people don't do the same shit they do on New Year's every weekend anyway. I'd rather stay at home with my girl watching movies/tv than go out to some shitty/packed club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leelee Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Plus, most people who go out on New Years' Eve are probably going out every Saturday night anyway. But, I didn't watch... so, I'm cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SavageRulz Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Man, TNA needs to show some damn growth on their ratings. I know this was a holiday show but they need to improve improve improve. Fuck this "Well at least they have some fans that will watch no matter what!" Growth would be nice but consistency is good. It showes that they have a dependable audience that will follow them through timeslot preemptions, plus watch despite good shows or bad. There talks that Spike is going to start giving TNA some primetime slots to air some of their DVD material to test the waters for a new night or possibly going to a 2 hour format on Sat night.

Guest Leelee Report post Posted January 5, 2006 No. Growth is what is needed. I'd say the biggest part of the audience is smarks who mostly watch because it's Not WWE. Impact gives absolutely no reason to draw new viewers in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 I was able to turn on the 8:00 show at the party I was at, but mainly because most females hadn't shown up yet and there was no objection. I tried the switch at Midnight again, but the crowd turned against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 I don't have a Nielsen box...so what I watch doesn't matter. I wonder with the complete (or supposed) US switch to digital in 2009... will the Neilsen box will be come obsolete? I can't help but think that the cable companies should be able to track watch you're watching and when through a digital signal. Maybe then we'll get some accurate ratings not based off of what a small percentage of the country is watching. I should also note that even though I stayed in on New Year's, I still managed to miss BOTH Impacts that night. I was hoping for a replay, but all I've been able to catch is recaps on Xplosion.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 I did a little snooping around online, and found out that Impact is fairly close to the Daily Show ratings wise, which usually gets a 0.8 - 0.9 rating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
