Early TNA iMPACT! Rating, Why iMPACT! Isn’t Airing Next Week

— This week’s edition of TNA iMPACT! averaged 1.41 million viewers during its two hour timeslot. This is a little bit down from the 1.44 million viewers they averaged last week. Here’s a look at the viewership numbers over the last five weeks: August 5 – 1.63 million viewers – August 12 – 1.52 million viewers – August 19 – 1.35 million viewers – August 26 – 1.44 million viewers – September 2 – 1.41 million viewers. More detailed ratings numbers for iMPACT! & TNA Reaction are expected to be delayed due to the Labor Day holiday weekend.

— Although TNA was promoting an interview with Rob van Dam for next week’s iMPACT!, the show is still being pre-empted. With the NFL season getting under way, Spike felt the show would not do well and pre-empted it for the week.
