TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 254,000 viewers for the AMC, according to ProgrammingInsider.com. The viewership count was up compared to the previous week’s 241,000 viewership average. Impact finished with a 0.05 rating in the 18-49 demographic, equal to the prior week’s 0.05 rating in the same demo.
Powell’s POV: The AMC+ and TNA+ streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count for TNA Impact. TNA has settled in with numbers similar to what AEW Collision drew during football season. While it’s unclear what AMC officials are hoping for, the numbers are in line with realistic expectations heading into the partnership.

While still very small, that’s a steady climb after the minor dropoff following the debut. Considering AMC still isn’t a sports/wrestling destination that people are used to, that’s not bad. Is TNA really going to crawl out of the depths after all these years and at least be a legit competitor for NXT and AEW?
