This week's ratings...

[The Mackem]

One thing for sure is that if they don't regain that 'lost' 20% of their viewers each and 15% over the course of the show, they won't retain their place in the scheduling. Maybe Austin was a factor but, if next weeks figures are the same or lower, there's nowhere really for TNA to hide. If Spike and TNA realised that things would start well on debut, decrease for the run in to Wrestlemania and not improve significantly until post Wrestlemania has died down, then fair enough. Just seeems rather odd.

If what I read lately is correct when Impact has been on a Monday night:

TNA
January special: 1.5 - 2.2million viewers
last week: 1.0 - 1.4 million viewers
this week: 0.84 - 1.1million viewers

Raw:
Impact Janaury special - 3.4 - 5.6 million
last week 3.4 - 5.1 million
this week 3.71 - 5.6 million

I'm not from America but from what I've learned from reading Kane Knight's posts is that the rating is a share of the viewing total, so if you have differing total amounts of overal viewiers each week the same 'rating' can equate to different viewers in seperate weeks.
