TNA Impact on Thursday, June 28 officially scored a 0.97 rating off a poor 0.87 first hour rating and 1.07 second hour rating.

Impact's first hour ratings continue to regress in the new timeslot one hour earlier. After scoring a 0.94 1H rating on June 14, Impact slipped to a 0.90 on June 21 and 0.87 on June 28.

The second hour showed improvement over June 21 against the NBA Finals, but was below June 7 and 14. The key was Impact peaking with a 1.16 rating in the eighth quarter-hour for the Styles & Angle vs. Daniels & Kaz Tag Title main event. It was the highest-rated Q8 during Impact's live summer run.

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact opened with a 0.89 rating, which was essentially the same as the previous two weeks. The segment included Rob Van Dam vs. Mr. Anderson in a BFG Series match, video packages, and half of a commercial.

Q2: Impact slipped slightly to a 0.87 rating for Austin Aries's and Bobby Roode's mid-ring confrontation, plus one-and-a-half commercials. The Q2 rating was above and below the previous two weeks.

Q3: Impact dropped to a show-low 0.80 rating for the randomly-introduced X Division qualifying match between Sonjay Dutt and Rubix, one commercial, and the Gut Check deliberations segment with Taz, Snow, and Prichard. This was the lowest-rated Q3 of the summer run and lowest-rated quarter-hour of the summer outside of the first week in the new timeslot.

Q4: Impact rebounded to a first-hour-high 0.91 rating for the first-half of Samoa Joe vs. Bully Ray, plus two commercials. The trend continues of the audience slowly starting to tune in at the end of the first hour in the new timeslot. However, the segment was the lowest-rated Q4 of the summer series outside of the first week.

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact leaped to a 1.07 rating in the standard Impact timeslot for the second-half of Joe vs. Ray, Joseph Park's post-match challenge to Bully for a match, Claire and Dixie Carter in the hallway, Kaz in Hogan's office, and one full commercial. This was up from last week's Q5 rating, but below the previous two weeks.

Q6: Impact dipped to a 1.00 rating for Madison and Garett backstage, Brooke & Tessmacher & Gail Kim backstage, Rashad Cameron vs. Scorpio Sky in the ring for a X Division qualifier, one commercial, and Hogan backstage with James Storm and Jeff Hardy. This was the lowest-rated Q6 of the summer run outside of the first week.

Q7: Impact increased slightly to a 1.03 rating for the Gut Check segment involving Taeler Hendrix and Joey Ryan, one commercial, and ring intros for the main event. The Q7 rating was above and below the previous two weeks.

Q8: Impact jumped to a 1.16 rating for the Tag Title main event and one commercial. There was also Daniels's "big reveal" in the final minute of the show following the match. This was the highest-rated Q8 of the summer run, highest-rated quarter-hour for any quarter-hour during the summer run, and highest-rated final segment of an Impact show since February 23.
