TNA Impact on Thursday, November 15 scored a 1.07 rating off a first hour 1.01 rating and second hour 1.14 rating.

The key for Thursday's taped show following Turning Point was an improved first quarter-hour. This helped Impact's first hour top a 1.0 rating for the first time in eleven weeks (August 30).

Impact peaked with a 1.18 rating in both the fifth and sixth quarter-hours to begin the second hour, then steadily declined to a 1.08 rating in the eighth quarter-hour for the Bobby Roode vs. James Storm main event.

Q3: Impact decreased slightly to a 1.00 rating for Jesse vs. Eric Young, one commercial, Joseph Park and Hulk Hogan in Hogan's office, and Aces & Eights taking out Magnus before a scheduled TV Title match. (up 7% vs. live summer run Q3 average)

Q4: Impact was about the same with a 1.01 rating for follow-up on Magnus's beat down, Austin Aries and Jeff Hardy backstage, ring intros for the main event, and two full commercial breaks. (up 8% vs. live summer run Q4 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact increased to a show-high 1.18 rating for Kurt Angle & Garett Bischoff vs. Aces & Eights, backstage segments, and ring intros for the Knockouts battle royal before one commercial at the very end of the quarter-hour. (up 10% vs. live summer run Q5 average)

Q6: Impact stayed at a show-high 1.18 rating for the Knockouts battle royal, one commercial, backstage segments, and A.J. Styles coming to the ring for a speech. (up 14% vs. live summer run Q6 average)
