That is definitely a big improvement. Lately they have been around 1.2-1.5 million viewers, so jumping up to over 1.7 million is pretty good for them.

Weird random increase. Wonder what caused it?
I cant help but laugh though. Ive loved impact for the last several months, and they do below average numbers. Then last night was the first ep in a while thatd id outright call 'bad', and the viewers increase a boatload. Typical.

There must have been absolutely nothing else on last night, right? When ratings are low, "ratings don't matter". When ratings are high, "YES!"

Wow, that's a random increase, quite a lot too (for TNA). Dunno if it'll stay though, hope it does.

Could be, would an earlier start make that much difference over there?

Well, in essence they don't matter that much, but when there's this high a jump in viewership, it IS important. The reason is pretty simple: this means there are now at least 1.7 million people who might be willing to tune into Impact more regularly. I'm certainly not saying they will, especially once college football/NFL Thursday Night football broadcasts start in earnest, but it's good to know what your ceiling is.

I never understand what bumps them up and down, this was a bad episode in my opinion as well and hard to really determine what the impulse was to drag everyone in. I never understand channel flippers who seem to go into watching television without a plan. Maybe the calamity of the Aces and Eights stuff got their attention? Either way, my misunderstanding of peoples' viewing habits aside I hope TNA can retain that audience because even though in my opinion it was an off episode I still hold faith that they can get back on the wagon.

In NYC and the east coast it was coming on as most people were getting ready for bed and ending as they were going to sleep (9p-11p) since they had school and work the next day and in the central it was 8-10 which isn't as bad but still not ideal.

Typical. *le sigh* Same here, I'm so out of touch with what the casual fans (of both companies) want.

It makes sense that they got a strong rating. They've spent weeks slowly building up the Aces and Eights angle and this was marketed as the episode where the epic Aces and Eights/Impact Wrestling showdown was going to happen. That's what attracted people.
The show itself was so-so, but the build is what boosted viewership. It always seems like a show rarely gets a rating on its own merit--it's the result of trends and also the previous week(s) show.
People were really excited about the angle because TNA did a nice slow, effective build.

Agreed. The buildup of Aces & 8s has been great. TNA has brought them along slowly, plus after the beatdown of Hogan and building up that he was returning probably played a big role in the ratings spike. Also, you can't leave out the AJ paternity test results.
