More on 9/28 iMPACT! rating, Spike TV's decision to upgrade TNA & more
As reported last night, the 9/28 edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final 0.9 cable rating with a 1.9 share. That is up from the 0.8 rating last week and up from what the show has been averaging as of late. For those wondering, UFC Unleashed at 9pm drew a 1.0 cable rating, while The Ultimate Fighter 4 at 10pm drew a 1.3 cable rating.
According to reports, one of the factors that helped Spike TV decide to upgrade the TNA iMPACT! timeslot to 9pm starting in November had to do with their decision to cancel the new "Blade" series. The show reportedly did not do well at all ratings wise and the production team involved with the series were informed late last week that Spike would not be moving forward with a second season.
As noted before, Spike TV intends on giving TNA several live specials over the next year and some personality profile shows as well. The early word is that these "profile shows" will be very similar to the UFC: All Access programs that focus on one or two fighters, whereas with TNA it will focus on one, two or maybe more wrestlers before a big PPV or special on Spike TV.
