Technical Malfunction Night for Pop TV and TNA Impact produced a decline in TV viewership.
TNA Impact Viewership Tracking
June 14: The break down for post-Slammiversary Impact includes:
9:00 to 10:50 p.m. – 127,000 viewers. The nearly-two-hour transmission problem during TNA’s scheduled timeslot was reported as a “Pop Special.”
10:50 p.m. to 12:21 a.m. – 155,000 viewers. The limited-commercial-interruption broadcast lasted 91 minutes.
12:00 a.m. to 2:10 a.m. – 14,000 viewers. Another section of Pop’s Tuesday night/Wednesday morning programming was attributed to Impact.
Total Viewership: 296,000 viewers
Other industry totals are factoring in 41,000 viewers from 12:21 a.m. to 2:28 a.m. for a broadcast that was attributed to “Practical Magic” and not TNA Impact.
Update: The Wednesday night encore drew 82,000 viewers on Pop TV, slightly fewer than Lucha Underground’s 89,000 first-run viewers in the 8:00 p.m. EST timeslot.
Impact Malfunction Original Airing: 127,000 viewers
Take 2 Airing: 155,000 viewers
Additional tally: 14,000 viewers
Wed. Night encore: 82,000 viewers
TOTAL: 378,000 viewers
It all adds up to an audience similar to the “May Mayhem” Impact special.
