On Wednesday, June 18, 2014 Challenge TV (and Challenge TV +1) aired an iMPACT Wrestling One Night Only pay-per-view. This pay-per-view was the Joker’s Wild 2 tournament which was taped earlier this year during the United Kingdom tour. The Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (BARB) estimates the total audience that watched this program on Challenge TV at 133,000 viewers. In addition, BARB estimates that another 32,000 viewers watched the show an hour later on Challenge TV +1, bringing the total audience for this program to 155,000 viewers.
The TNA Joker’s Wild 2 program was the third most watched program on Challenge TV and the most watched program on Challenge TV +1 for the week. The most watched program on Challenge TV for the week occurred a few days later with the channel’s airing of iMPACT Wrestling.
Cool
The folks in the UK have a sweet deal with the ability to watch both iMPACT Wrestling and TNA pay-per-views on free television. Not so over here in the States!
