Early TNA iMPACT! Ratings (8/5): Been Here…

Reports suggest that this Thursday’s episode of iMPACT! averaged about 1,630,000 viewers which is about 20,000 viewers less than last week’s average viewership. There is no word yet on how WWE Superstars fared on WGN America.
Each week in this spot I use last week’s viewership numbers to project a rating for the current week’s episode of iMPACT!. Please note that this is an extremely inexact science since the number of people watching cable television changes on a daily basis and thus the cable rating system changes on a daily basis. However, if we use last week’s final rating as a base and the week-to-week comparable data doesn’t change, then that means this week’s episode of iMPACT! scored a 1.21 rating.
In the mean time, keep an eye on our Ratings War area for the latest information on how iMPACT! is faring in its “Thursday Night War” (get it?) against Superstars!
