Although we have noted this many times over the last few days, the 6/29 edition of TNA iMPACT! scored another 1.1 cable rating with a 2.3 share and averaged an audience of 1.4 million viewers.

Demographic numbers have now just been obtained for last week's show and Thursday's rating turned out to be the best consecutive rating for TNA on Spike TV to date. The show drew a 1.3 rating among males 18-49 and a 1.4 rating among males 18-34. The full hour of TNA placed Spike TV at No. 1 on Thursday among males 18-49, males 18-34, males 25-34 and males 35-39.

In comparing TNA ratings from its old Saturday night timeslot, TNA iMPACT! is up 31% overall in household ratings, 59% among males 18-49, 90% among males 18-34 and 32% up in their average audience every week. The 11pm-Midnight ET Thursday timeslot for TNA (10-11pm CT) is up 209% overall from a year ago when Spike TV aired comedy blocks of The Lance Krall Show and Most Xtreme Challenge.
