6/8 TNA iMPACT! rating sees a drop; doesn't drop below 1.0 range, more
On Monday, June 12, 2006 at 3:50 PM EST The 6/8 edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final 1.0 cable rating, down from the 1.1 rating last week. As noted on Thursday night, TNA was hoping for its highest rating ever on Thursday by putting Sting vs. Scott Steiner as the first match of the night.
However, given the competition from the NBA Finals on ABC and the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, that was going to be a hard thing to accomplish. Despite that, a 1.0 rating is still impressive going against stiff competition like that.
TNA has yet to drop below a 1.0 rating since moving to Thursday night on Spike TV, averaging an audience of 1.2 million viewers every week.
