TNA Impact audience falls to 182,000 viewers on AMC

TNA Impact averaged 182,000 viewers on AMC on Oct. 1, down 12.1% from the previous week and its smallest audience since July 30, F4W/WON reported.

The Sept. 24 episode averaged 207,000 viewers, matching the Sept. 17 total. The latest broadcast lost 25,000 viewers compared with each of those two September episodes.

Impact's adults 18–49 rating fell to 0.02 from 0.03, a decline of one-third. F4W/WON reported that the figure tied the show's lowest adult rating since its move to AMC.

The earlier 0.02 rating in the published AMC history came on Aug. 20, when the program averaged 188,000 viewers. July 30's episode had a lower total audience of 176,000 but a higher adult rating of 0.04.

Those comparisons show why total audience and the demographic rating need separate treatment. The viewer count describes the overall average audience, while the adult rating applies to the 18–49 population. The latest numbers concern AMC television viewing, rather than a combined total for every way viewers can watch Impact.
