TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 164,000 viewers for AMC, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com, who cited ProgrammingInsider.com. The viewership count was down from the previous week’s 209,000 viewership average. Impact finished with a 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from the 0.03 rating from the prior week.
Powell’s POV: The AMC+ and TNA+ streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count for TNA Impact. Thursday’s show drew the lowest viewership and rating of the AMC era. The NBA and NHL playoffs are strong competition, but that’s been the case since mid-April, so it’s discouraging to see the numbers decline. On a side note, ProgrammingInsider.com apparently pulled the Thursday report, which was not available as of this update.
Update: Nielsen changed its ratings formula… again. This is beyond ridiculous.

The way ratings are figured changed again in the last week for the 3rd time recently. It’s why Dynamite and Impact were both down
