8/24 TNA iMPACT! rating sees another drop; the UFC audience tunes out
On Monday, August 28, 2006 at 5:47 PM EST The 8/24 edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final and rather low 0.8 cable rating, down from last week's 0.9 rating. Last week saw the return of UFC programming as a lead-in, which many assumed would help TNA jump out of the 0.8 range the show has been averaging over the last few months.
It should be noted that UFC's The Ultimate Fighter reality series that aired the same night before TNA drew a solid 1.6 cable rating. This is obviously not good news for TNA.
