Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Empowered by a replay of the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter Season 3, the final Saturday edition of TNA Impact shot up to a 1.0 rating. Impact garnered an average audience of 1.1 million viewers and record numbers in Male demographics as they scored a 1.1 among Males 18-49 and 1.2 among Males 18-34.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 People still want to claim that it was a bad move to place Impact @ 11? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 News from the Observer says that the VP of Spike has said that if TNA can score good ratings @ 11pm on thursdays, they would consider putting TNA on @ 9pm on thursdays once TUF 3 ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Too bad most people still look at Monday as "Wrestling night." There's other shit going on during Thursday. It's like the most watched TV night. It'd be hard, I think, to get a lot of people set in their ways on Thursday nights to abandon what they're accustomed to watching to watch the lackluster iMPACT! I know I've sounded like a negative pissant recently regarding TNA, however they have really soured me on the product thanks to how poor iMPACT! turns out to be. I'll watch the first Thursday show because I'm hoping that will finally be the turn around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 The demographic that TNA and Spike are looking for, are better suited for Thursday rather then Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Are there numbers to prove that? 'Cause if we're just going by speculation, the demographic they're appealing too could just as easily go to bed early due to work/school the next day as they could miss iMPACT! on Sat. because it's the weekend and they're out partying.

Guest hasbeen Report post Posted April 11, 2006 It's 10 in a lot of big cities like Chicago, St. Louis and Memphis. Moving to a weeknight is huge. I've probably seen only a 1/4 of the shows since it's been on Saturday night unless I remembered to record it. I would say I'd see all of them now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Plus, it probably didn't hurt that this looked like one of the better Impact's on paper. I turned on Impact! for the first time in a long time, just watch AJ/Abyss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 I hated that Christian caused the non finish in AJ/Abyss. Those 2 just have a great big/small man chemistry about them. I give TNA permission to do an AJ/Abyss feud that lasts 6 months, if not longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't help that TNA doesn't even book their current World Heavyweight Champion to wrestle on Impact at all anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Awesome news, hopefully they get even more TUF viewers on Thursday since that's when the first run episodes air. I think last week's got something impressive in the 2's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmpunk04 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 i dont normally comment here but i have to say sorry if you cant put this down to Sting being on the show then god knows what else it is. people obviously want to see the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Good news to hear since the show was pretty solid if you ask me. The Thurs rating will be interesting to see how different that is compared to the Sat one. Still not convinced 10pm C/11pm ET on a Thursday night is strong, but with TUF there right before it, it might work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
