NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 13, 2014) – The Aug. 7 episode
of IMPACT WRESTLING, TNA’s flagship program airing Thursday nights at 9/8c on
Spike TV, drew 1.6 million viewers (P2+ *, +3 Rating), the largest audience
since mid-February of this year. The episode was also up against six nationally
or regionally televised NFL pre-season games, the first of the NFL
season.
Historically, IMPACT WRESTLING ratings are highest during Q1,
however in Q3 2014, IMPACT WRESTLING has experienced a steady increase in total
viewership and key demos that are exceeding ratings from Q1 2014, and rivaling
Q1 ratings from previous years. To date, Q3 2014 ratings have attracted more
viewers in the highly sought after Men 18-34 demo since Q1 2012, and the highest
ratings for P2+, P 18-49 and Men 18-49 since Q1 2013.
* Of note, when
calculating a rating using “P2+”, you’re counting viewers from age 2 and up.
