Impact's low rating being blamed on NXT Arrival?

Guest

TNA Impact on Thursday, February 27 scored a 0.94 rating, essentially even with last week's 0.95 rating.

It's been four months since back-to-back Impact episodes were at this level, dating back to October 31 and November 7, 2013 when those episodes scored 0.93 and 0.90 ratings, respectively.

- Impact did not register a TV viewership figure on Thursday night. Impact was not in the Top 50 rankings of total viewers on cable TV, with the #50 show drawing 1.086 million viewers.

By comparison, Impact's lead-in on Spike TV, "Cops," drew 1.250 million viewers on Thursday night.

- Impact did not register an adult 18-34, adult 18-49, or teen male rating.

The only demographics that registered were males 18-34, which was down two-tenth of rating from last week, and m18-49 & m12-34, which were both down one-tenth.

Impact's top competition was the "NXT Arrival" program on WWE Network and the season premiere of "Vikings" on History Channel, which drew 3.5 million viewers against Impact's second hour and drew a strong male-heavy audience targeting Impact's demo.

Caldwell's Analysis: NXT Arrival likely had the biggest effect on TNA Impact's audience last night. We don't have data on Network viewership, but it's reasonable to conclude that hype surrounding Week 1 of the Network and the first live, in-ring show on Thursday night drew people away from Impact.

Considering people have the option to watch 2 shows at once, i'm having a hard time believing an INTERNET SHOW is the reason why a TELEVISION PROGRAM got low ratings.

Perhaps people used their TVs to watch NXT Arrival? (Like... PS3/4 thing, or XBox thing /doesn't own any of them/ ) I believe that's quite possible.

Because alot of people don't have their TV right next to their PC and they chose the PC to watch a free show thats coming with a free trial? and thats not even counting what Zanon said above.

Well if that's true it's only .01 that left to watch NXT.

Still. I think it's unlikely that TNA going from .95 to .94 is completely on NXT... NXT wasn't around last week when they got a .95

NXT being the reason your ratings suck kinda makes me lul. Let's think about the list of people that played key roles on the show.

Antonio Cesaro
Sami Zayn
Paige
Emma
Bo Dallas
Adrian Neville

...

If that ruins your ratings... I uh...

I hope NXT doesn't go live on Thursday nights. Funny

TNA can't blame NXT for low ratings when Everybody Loves Raymond re-runs even beat this show in ratings. A show that went off the air like almost 10 years ago is TNA's competition.
