Well I think we all knew it would dip given the abruptness of the schedule change. But I'm blaming Bram just because.

Down about 300k from last Thursday, which with little notice on the night change doesn't seem too bad.

Not too surprising, expected with the move to a new day.

Not great, but could've been worse due to the very abrupt day change. The one next week'll be more interesting.

Wonder how many people tune in tonight and just assume it got cancelled and never find out it's on Wednesday?

Good luck on getting Spike to help advertise the new time slot because they already shown they don't give a f***. Maybe TNA will put in the same effort they did for advertising #ItHappens for the semi permanent Wednesday spot.

Seriously if they put half the effort advertising in print/media/social networking for the date change that they put into Dixie going through a damn table they'd be fine, but since isn't about middle age woman going through a table, you get nothing but a quick blurb on a webpage.

When we get close to December, TNA can start teasing putting Dixie through a flaming table.

They did put more than half the effort in advertising it on social media, on their site & on Spike(not as much as #ItHappens, but much more than half). No matter what, moving something to a new day is always gonna lose some viewers, mainly because people are so used to it on a certain day(hell, there were a couple times yesterday that I thought that Smackdown was 'tomorrow', before I remembered it was Wednesday).

They should go full court press about it then. No half assing and hoping viewers remember. People may hate WWE's 9.99 constant hammering of the Network but you remember it 5 minutes afterwards. I may not like hearing Tenay and Taz talking shrilling the time change but I and others would know Impact is now on Wednesday.

Ads on the "newz" sites. Inserted interstitials in last nights show. Taz and Tenay shilling the crap out of until you are ready to vomit. Bite the bullet and buy some ad time. You can pay all these part timers to come in but you can't buy an ad series to shill your time change. All of those things could have been done to promote the change. Say what you want about the network price shilling, but you can be damn sure after that first raw everyone knew the price. They then proceeded to beat you over the head with it until it got it's own signs and chant on TV. This site itself I saw an ad with Cena on it and the 9.99 price. They did a poor job with this. I should have changed my statement to relevant advertising in my first post.

I did just that tonight! I turned on the TV to Spike around 845pm and saw nothing scheduled but “Cops” for the next 2 hours. My first thought was, “Damn, I didn’t hear that TNA was cancelled, but i guess they were"

I watched Impact last night and out of habit, turened to Spike as soon as I got home, like I have for the past 7 years. If I didn't have a DVR and recorded whatever the guide was listing for Wednesday at 9, I probably would have forget it was on yesterday. I'm sure a lot of the casual viewers forgot it was on or didn't know it had moved.

No one wanted to see Ethan be mean to Spud.
But yeah, I had to DVR it myself. Suits' summer finale was more important.

What's actually filling the old Impact slot on Thursday now? Trusty old Cops or something else?
Be interesting to see how that does compared to the last Impact.

Cops. It seems as if the suits at Spike reads our little forum and decided to go with a 5 hour block of Cops, as had been suggested.
