Final 6/21 TNA iMPACT! rating - show does its highest rating yet for 2007
On Saturday, June 23, 2007 at 1:18 AM EST PWInsider is reporting that the 6/21 Thursday edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final 1.2 cable rating. This is the highest rating iMPACT! has received in the shows history on Spike TV. There are no details out right now regarding a share or an estimated audience yet.
TNA had previously drawn a 1.2 rating earlier this year on February 12 with its "This is TNA!" special. While the PWI report states this is the highest rated episode for iMPACT! on the network, Gerweck.net's excellent ratings record book shows that TNA also did a 1.2 rating back on May 25, 2006.
One good sign about this higher rating for TNA is that the show had reruns of CSI: Miami as a lead-in and that rerun episodes of The Ultimate Fighter aired afterwards, so this may help TNA's standing with Spike TV as the company continues TV negotiations for a new deal with the hope being that they can land a second hour. We hope to have additional details on the rating very soon.
