TNA Impact on Thursday, January 17, 2013 scored a 1.15 rating, see-sawing back to a mid-1.1 rating that the 1.3.13 episode drew. Last week's show scored a 1.02 rating.

Impact's heavily-promoted wedding show drew 1.6 million viewers, essentially even with the lesser-promoted January 3 episode. Last week's show drew 1.3 million viewers.

On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #26 in overall viewers, but a distant #37 among males 18-34 and #21 among males 18-49. The m18-34 ranking was lower than last week's show.

Weddings always do well. I think even the ODB and EY one did as well.

Numbers aside this underlines the anti-TNA bias in 'newz' site reporting. Numbers jump 300,000 but emphasis put on 'but in this category it's way down'.

I could be wrong but I don't think we seldom ever get this information with Raw ratings. It's like rather than reporting the ratings they have to find a caveat.

All depends on what site you go to, here is the link to the same site's RAW Rating article for this week which includes the same analysis:

Before you call PWTorch anti-TNA, they treat WWE just as harsh if not more so. Like Ric said, different sites are more favorable to certain promotions. If anything, TNA get more free passes because of the strong run they had last summer.
