TNA Impact TV Ratings

January 7 live special

The first episode of TNA Impact on Destination America drew the following audience:

- Impact drew 263,000 viewers, translating to a 0.46 cable TV rating (0.2 national TV rating).

On a third-tier channel reaching about 50 percent of available households, this put Impact at the top of Destination America's list for the week, topping 250,000 viewers for a show called "Killing Bigfoot."

- Impact drew approximately 166,000 adults 18-49 viewers, breaking down as 131,000 m18-49 and a small female 18-49 audience of 35,000. This is consistent with Impact on Spike TV struggling to draw female viewers.

The total audience broke down as 74.3 percent male and 25.7 percent female.

- Impact's median age was 48.9 years-old, carrying over from the Spike era of drawing an older crowd.

- The Impact replay at 11:00 p.m. EST drew 105,000 viewers or a 0.18 cable TV rating.

- Impact shifts to Friday nights starting next Friday, January 16. It remains to be seen if they can draw more than 263,000 viewers on a less-desirable night of the week. Although, Destination America believes there is a built-in audience from WWE's Friday Night Smackdown that will carry over to Impact despite being on a less-visible channel.
