UK RATINGS REPORT

Hey all, it's been a while since I did my last UK TV ratings round up... in short, WWE has held firm, but TNA has somehow managed to pull well into the lead (at least, as far as first airings of shows are concerned), with the April 28 edition of Impact (airing in the UK on May 3rd) drawing almost a quarter of a million viewers for their highest UK rating to date. 

I'll just run down the shows, rather than week by week:

RAW (live airings)
- week ending April 24 (April 18 Raw) - drew 144,000 - down 8,000/-5% on the prior week
- week ending May 1 (April 25 Raw) - drew 128,000 - down 16,000/-11%
- week ending May 8 (May 2 Raw) - drew 135,000 - up 7,000/5.4%
- week ending May 15 (May 9 Raw) - drew 153,000 - up 18,000/13%

SmackDown (first airing/Friday nights)
- April 22 SmackDown - drew 111,000 - down 32,000/-28.9% on the prior week
- April 29 SmackDown - drew 135,000 - up 24,000/21.6%
- May 6 SmackDown - drew 103,000 - down 32,000/-23.7%
- May 13 SmackDown - drew 132,000 - up 29,000/28.2%

TNA LockDown drew an audience of 191,000 on Challenge TV (free TV)
