Multichannel News recently ran a report talking about TNA Impact averaging slightly above a 1.0 cable rating during its 11:00 pm timeslot on Spike TV Thursday nights.
TNA president Dixie Carter commented, "Wrestling has never been on at this time of night.”
"We're kind of in uncharted territory, but we're having a lot of success,” Carter continued.
The 1.03 average cable rating that TNA Impact has been doing is 222 percent above anything that Spike TV had in the timeslot last year. TNA Impact will continue to be tested as they will not have the highly rated lead-in of The Ultimate Fighter back until August 17th. In the mean time, an extreme stunt comedy series from Finland called “The Dudesons” as well as an unscripted comedy series starring a back-woods family titled "Raising the Roof" will air before Impact on Thursdays.
