SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Perhaps reflecting disinterest in WWE’s product going into the final PPV of the year, TLC generated the lowest Nielsen Twitter TV Rating of the year for a Sunday night PPV.
TLC drew a unique Twitter audience of 1.450 million, down 21 percent from 1.839 million for Survivor Series three weeks ago.
TLC’s total impressions were 17.059 million, down seven percent from Survivor Series’s total.
Despite the drop-off, TLC ranked #1 among series & specials on Sunday night. However, the NFL Sunday Night Football game topped TLC by nearly four times.
