If you consider the ever increasing fragmentation of the television audience, to keep the same ratings for eternity as TNA have more or less, could be considered a real terms increase. They were getting these ratings in 2006.
When you consider what's happened to Raw's rating since then has fallen about 25%. Other shows such as CSI have seen audiences fall around 45% in the same period.
So people react to these ratings as if staying the same or not moving up is somehow terrible. In today's television market to maintain an audience over such a long period of time is to perform very well.
If TNA's ratings had followed WWE's over the same period they'd be getting 0.7s

Since TNA moved to 8:00 PM, they've lost a few hundred thousand viewers. Not to mention, viewership went from 1.6 million viewers on 1/3 right back to the normal 1.3 million this week. They lost all of those non-regular viewers who tuned in on 1/3. |

They lost all of those non-regular viewers who tuned in on 1/3. But there's not a single show on the planet who doesn't suffer week-by-week fluctuations. Yet overall the ratings have been consistent for more than six years or so. A lot of shows, even very popular ones - even Raw, have lost a far greater share of audience over that time. Granted other shows get bigger ratings so there's more to lose but ratings consistency isn't something to be sniffed at. TNA has kept largely the same audience since 2005. If we go back to that time the top rating shows were.. 1) American Idol - now down 40% 2) CSI - down 50% 3) Desperate Housewives - down 45% 4) Grey's Anatomy - down 60% ...and the list really does go on and one. I honestly think there's a lack of appreciation as to how decent the ratings TNA get are and how much of an achievement it really is to have essentially retained your audience over that period of time. It's not something to be taken for granted. |

It's not something to be taken for granted. But they have lost viewers. For months ever since the move to 8:00 p.m. About 20-25% from where they were before the change. 2 of the 4 shows you are mentioned are off the air (DH) or will be going off the air soon (GA). Not to mention, those were/are some of the most popular, most watched shows on all of TV. Impact doesn't even make the top 30 list of Thursday night cable shows. |
