TNA ratings post 1/4

[Juan]

Have the Thursday show's ratings gotten better since the Hogan/Bishoff debut?

[Indifferent Clox]

yes

[Juan]

I'm gonna need some numbers here, Cheech.

[Gertner]

1.5 was their debut show. They drew 1.2 last week, which is up from their usual 1.0.

[NoRoolz]

Kane Knight or Dave Youell are best for this shizzle.

I do believe ratings are up though. And that the immediate iMPACT! After 4th Jan drew higher ratings than expected.

[Xero]

1.3 this week.

[Juan]

Interesting

[kareru]

before hogan the ratings were around 1.0 -1.3 with the highest rating of 2009 being 1.3
and so far 1.3 has been the lowest rating for this year, so i think a difference has been made, but whether it continues to grow is another matter entirely

I am? Sweet!

Yeah, the numbers are up. The most interesting thing to me is that combined viewership on 1/4 was over 5.0, which means there's potential for another decent boom period IMO.

Hogan's pushing for a Monday slot, the main question is weather they go head to head, or start an hour earlier, I would think it's a safer bet to do the earlier hour initially, to try to drag the viewers in to watch the 2nd hour instead of Raw's first hour.

Now, the initial peak in interest was initially a .5 increase, currently it's a .3 (on different days respectively) it's still early to tell what this actually means, as the head to head did really well on the Monday, but it was still 'only' a 1.5 and they are now increasing on Thursay's but only to a 1.3. We need more data to understand the long term impact of these figures. As TNA got the recent peak because of debuts and surprises, which cannot be maintained at the same frequency going forward.
