TNA's iMPACT Beats WWE's ECW in 2009 Ratings & HH Average

[gd]

I've posted several stories about TNA iMPACT and WWE's ECW and each's ratings this television season.

I noted that because of the greater Household reach of Spike TV vs Sci-Fi, 97 million vs 93 million, that for some weeks now that iMPACT has been averaging a greater HH audience than ECW.

Dixie Carter in a recent interview noted that Impact was beating ECW, and season to date she was right.

Regardless, iPMACT's average rating remained lower than ECW's, until last week.

As of last week iMPACT is not only ahead of ECW in Households delivered season to date, but in average season to date rating iMPACT now beats ECW too, but not by much.

For the 27 weeks from Jan 5 - July 10, iMPACT's average rating is 1.204 and ECW's is 1.201 with iMPACT delivering approximately 1,167,880 HH to ECW's 1,116,930 HH, a 50,950 HH difference.

Congratulations to TNA

Is this really an accomplishment? I think not.

 

[The Hiphopapotamus]

I think so.Improvements always good.Well at least for TNA.

I suppose it could be worse.TNA could be lower.

 

[Murfish]

The point is that they're improving. They were averaging 1's and .9's not too long ago.

I guess, but they're still about 3 points off of Raw, which is still a long way away.

 

[Uncle Sam]

But only one point off SmackDown. If that.

 

[gd]

It took them a long time to improve just .2 points. They still got a long way to go.

Exactly.

People need to start giving TNA some credit. Whenever some of WWE's ratings go down, I read nothing but excuses at to why it's happening. However, when TNA's ratings go up, I read nothing but ridicule how they'd still be a C show in WWE. Ridiculous.

TNA is catching up believe it or not. they beat the c show. and once they beat Smackdown Vince better get his head out his ass. TNA has a better Tag Team division by far. and women Knockout division is 100 times better then WWE divas. The Main eventers and Storylines are catching on as well. we could very well have another Ratings war on our hand folks by the end of next year. they will have passed Smackdown by then me thinks.

A show with Kurt Angle, Mick Foley & Sting outdrawing a show with Tommy Dreamer, Christian & Vladimir Kozlov? Crazy.

They should outdraw ECW.

 

[Coco]

I'll be the first to say it:

Christian can't draw flies to shit.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I'll be the first to say it:

Christian can't draw flies to shit.

Seconded.

 

[Slyfox696]

How is it not an accomplishment to beat the WWE? I fail to see the logic in how that's not an accomplishment.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's an accomplishment in the same way that finding a parking space in a packed car park is an accomplishment.

 

[I like the flippy]

i really like t.n.a and i am really proud that i am one of the people that helped beat e.c.w in the ratings one day t.n.a will beat r.a.w in the ratings because of the loyal fans like me

 

[Kenny Powers]

I believe its an accomplishment also, its exciting to see all the new faces that debut in TNA. First with Sting, Angle, and Foley and now in the near future with Taz and maybe Even Kennedy and Umaga.

 

[Rokitka]

i really like t.n.a and i am really proud that i am one of the people that helped beat e.c.w in the ratings one day t.n.a will beat r.a.w in the ratings because of the loyal fans like me

What's Raw stand for?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

It's an accomplishment in the same way that finding a parking space in a packed car park is an accomplishment.

You don't drive, so I don't think you're qualified to comment.
