TNA Impact rating: How did the show hold up with stiff competition from the NBA and NHL playoffs?

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 209,000 viewers for AMC, according to ProgrammingInsider.com. The viewership count was up from the previous week’s 175,000 viewership average. Impact finished with a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic, equal to the prior week’s 0.03 rating.

Powell’s POV: The AMC+ and TNA+ streaming numbers are not included in the rating or viewership count for TNA Impact. The numbers for the April 23 episode were down because the show ran head-to-head with the first night of the NFL Draft. A better comparison is the April 16 episode, which averaged 212,000 viewers and a 0.5 rating in the key demo.
