TNA Impact on Thursday, November 1 scored a 0.97 rating, which was the same as last week. It was the sixth consecutive show to score below a 1.0 rating.

Impact averaged 1.25 million viewers, which was up five percent compared to last week's near-year low and exactly the same as Impact's viewership two weeks ago.

On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #37 in overall viewers, #19 in males 18-34, and #16 among males 18-49. Impact has not cracked the Top 10 in either demo in several weeks.

In the weekly demographic ratings, Impact saw a significant increase in younger male viewers, but the key adult demos that Spike TV is concerned with remained flat.

- Overall, it appears the new norm for live Impact an hour earlier is a rounded 1.0 rating and an average of 1.2 million viewers. This compares to Impact averaging a 1.15 rating and 1.5 million viewers for taped shows in the regular timeslot in Fall 2011.

One year ago this week, Impact drew a 1.27 overall rating and a 0.85 rating among males 18-49. This year this week, Impact drew a 0.97 overall rating and a 0.58 rating among males 18-49.
