Per Wade Keller on Twitter...
263,000 viewers on TNA's @impactwrestling debut live Wednesday night on @destamerica, down from 800K range on Spike typically.
Key Points: @destamerica in 60 percent of homes as Spike, so full proportional carryover would equate to around 480K, so 263K is big drop.
The @impactwrestling ratings on @destamerica are above network's typical rating. 165K in 18-49 demo top for the week. No. 2 was 129K.
TNA @impactwrestling debut on @destamerica top rated show for week. For perspective, it was double viewership of 8th ranked show for week.
Only five shows all week topped 200K. Killing Bigfoot drew 250K compared to Impact's 263K.
For 1st show on Network, could be seen as "good starting point" or bad news b/c Friday's will drop.

This just reminds me that they belong on Destination America. A network full of ghost shows now has a show that is a walking corpse.

I understand that Destination America was probably a "We'll take anything" kind of deal after Spike dropped TNA, but is this really going to work out that well for them? Destination America must be happy since 263,000 is probably huge to them, but if these numbers are going to be standard for Impact (and you would think that a "live" show would bring in a lot more interest just because it's "live"), I don't see how TNA is going to benefit from this.

And people dared call me insane for saying TNA would be lucky to break 300k. You cannot move networks without taking a hit, especially when it is to a far lesser network and it will be even worse next week when they move to Friday. I'd be shocked if they draw over 200k next week.

I guess if they're able to stay alive and Dixie remains happy with her favorite toy, it will be what it is.

True, but it's stunning to me that a promotion can get 263K viewers yet still be able to somehow pay all the talent that they've got.

Impact doesn't live off the ad revenue from their tv ratings but the money from the tv deal. All the ratings need to be are good enough for Discovery/Destination America.

Why do they still have Angle and Jeff Hardy at this point? I can't imagine their salaries are worth the investment since no one watches Impact or buys whatever is left of their PPV's. Just go with all young/cheap men and women, and rebrand the whole company. At least then they can sell it as a "rebuilding phase".
Otherwise, this is pretty darn bad.
