TNA Impact Ratings (Dec. 8, 2016): Numbers drop despite advertised title match

The numbers for last night’s (Dec. 8) TV line up are in and TNA Impact’s numbers took a drop. This week 303K people tuned in and the rating was at 0.07, down from 338K and 0.08 last week.

This was despite advertising a TNA title match between Eddie Edwards and EC3. They also weren’t against much competition last night. While the Thursday Night Football game was another good one, TNF had a drop in viewers compared to the Cowboys game last week.

Next week is Total Nonstop Deletion, Matt Hardy’s 2-hour Deletion event special. The Final Deletion gave TNA their best numbers on Pop TV. The follow up, Delete or Decay, did not do as well, but that was up against the first NFL game of the year. We’ll see how the Hardy spectacle impacts the ratings next week.

Here are the numbers from the last month:

• This week: 303K
• December 1: 338K
• November 25: 165K
• November 17: 336K
• November 10: 317K
