The 12/14 edition of TNA iMPACT! ended up drawing a final 1.2 cable rating with a 1.8 share, averaging 1.4 million viewers. This is a big jump from last week's 1.0 cable rating and is the highest rating the show has drawn in its new 9pm ET timeslot on Thursday night. The real test is to see if TNA can maintain this number next week and if the jump in ratings wasn't just because of the show coming off the Turning Point PPV.

On a related note, UFC Unleashed at 10pm ET drew a 1.1 cable rating with a 1.8 share, while the second UFC Unleashed at 11pm ET drew a 1.0 cable rating with a 2.1 share. So, this week at least, it was UFC who couldn't maintain TNA's audience.
