TNA IMPACT AND REACTION RATINGS AND ANALYSIS AND MORE

By Dave Scherer on 2010-11-05 18:37:37

The 11/4 edition of Impact did a 1.15 rating with 1,412,000 viewers.  The rating was slightly up from last week but the viewership was down for the third straight week (see chart below).  Some may make a correlation between that and the fact that the TNA World Champion Jeff Hardy should be the focal point of Immortal instead of Eric Bischoff.  I wouldn't disagree with them because they are astute.

Reaction did a 0.63 rating with 754,000 viewers.  Both of those numbers are easily the lowest that they have done in the last month (again, see below).  And again, for those that blame Bischoff's exposure  for the Impact viewership being down, they could certainly point out that 180,000 less viewers watched Reaction this week when EB was the lead-in instead of actual wrestlers.  Again, I wouldn't argue with those making that argument and would in fact say that I see a correlation.  Nothing against Eric Bischoff, but a near-senior citizen with his gut hanging over a gui compared to in-shape wrestlers (and Knockouts) working matches just resonates better with the 18-49 demographic that every network wants.  

The 11/4 edition of Superstars did a 0.64 rating, with 639,000 viewers.

The replay did a 0.2 rating and 174,000 viewers.
