SPIKE TV’S “TNA iMPACT” DELIVERS ITS HIGHEST RATINGS EVER FOR HULK HOGAN’S DEBUT IN SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE 2.2 Million Tune-In For Live Three-Hour Telecast New York, NY, January 5, 2010 – Hulk Hogan’s first appearance on Spike TV’s special three-hour live “TNA iMPACT” on Monday, January 2 (8:00-11:05pm) drew 2.2 million viewers. This marks the most-watched "TNA iMPACT" in the history of the franchise, totaling 222 episodes dating back to October, 2005. The previous high was 1.97 million viewers reached last April The event was broadcast from the TNA iMPACT! Zone at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fl. Airing head-to-head with WWE on USA Network, “TNA iMPACT” peaked at 2.9 million viewers from 9:00-9:15pm ET/PT. Overall, the telecast drew a 1.5 household rating, a 1.8 in Men 18-34, and a 1.6 in Men 18-49. For the time period, “TNA iMPACT” was up a whopping +338% in M18-34, +241% in M18-49, and +84% in average audience versus a year ago.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So my question to all those people who said a 1.5 is a failure, you can't argue this show was huge. Up 338% in M18-34, that is a huge gain vs. a year ago. I think the problem is people are too worried about what WWE is getting compared to them. That is not the measure you should even be looking at. The real measure is who is putting out a better product? And once people start realizing that its TNA (if it is TNA, time will tell), TNAs numbers will continue to grow. TNA should be competing with itself and not with WWE Show me these numbers in a month and I'll tell you how succesful it isnt. Stop kidding yourselves. |

Show me these numbers in a month and I'll tell you how succesful it isnt. Stop kidding yourselves. I'd love to except TNA isn't putting on a live show on Monday's in a month. Why do you troll this board trying to put up a fight? Why do you call it trolling when I comment on this board more than any other board on the site. I'm not starting a fight, I'm making a point and expressing my opinion. How many times must i say I'm a fan of TNA's and have watched for all 7 years. that doesnt mean I dont have a right to bitch about the crap shows they put up and comment about their current direction. If anything, it shows how much of a fan I am. Some of you are way too defensive. There were aspect sof the show I liked and I'll give them that, but for what they had and what they were trying to do, they shyt it all away, just like they ALWAYS have done. I'm not just making this stuff up, I, and many others have seen this same trend year after year after year. that's what makes it frustrating. And it has nothing to do with Monday night. If TNA at 8pm unopposed can get a 1.7, whay cnat they maintain or get higher then a 1.2 for two hours when they are unopposed on thursdays? That's my point |
