You have to look at that figure and find out how many people can't actually get Destination America regardless of whether or not they might want to or not, so i don't think it's as cut and dried as people deciding the product "isn't worth paying for".
And when you're on a niche channel like that, the ratings are only really relevant to your direct competition, so as i said, as long as they're the top rated show on that channel then that's all that should matter. I know they may still think they're competition to the WWE but they aren't and certainly won't ever be on their current channel so, in my very humble opinion, all the never-ending nonsense about ratings does is to re-enforce the negative opinion that the so-called "IWC" has of TNA and probably paints a misleading impression to the casual fan as well. If TNA don't want their ratings discussed, get off TV. |

Why am i not surprised the ratings are still being picked over ?
As long as they're the highest rated program on Destination America, that's all that really matters. TNA is a company that has always been obsessed with the short term and doing whatever they can to pop a rating so the fact that their ratings are often subject to close analysis is a product of their own making. I hate this idea that TNA get picked on by the IWC (an all but meaningless term seeing that we all are on the internet and we all know inside stuff about wrestling and we are not some hive mind like that term would suggest.) It just carries no weight. Also, if TNA are on a low rent channel with way less viewers, that's hardly insignificant. If they're no.1 programme on a niche channel, they're a big fish in a tiny pond which equals less publicity for their product and in all likelihood way less money for the company. Considering that they have already done a ton of cost cutting in the last 18 months, that's pretty significant and is worthy of comment. |

Plus Spike helped pay for some guys like Kurt-Jeff Hardy and Bobby Lasley off the books so now TNA has to pay them their full fee to |

Something else some people forget or don't realise if it wasn't for Daddy's Billions TNA would have shut down years ago it's only because Dixie's Daddy keeps bailing her out it keeps going.
I can just see her like Hilary in Fresh Prince "Daddy I need a another million I have to sign some new guys and pay of the debts" I think he only does it to shut her up and keep her out of his business or he may have to find her a job there. |

Why doesn't DA put the TNA episodes (with adverts) on their website 24 / 48 hrs after the initial airring?
... (like spike did) so people without the necessary packages can watch?

They wouldn't get paid that way.
Anyway anyone wanting to watch it can always find a way to watch it for free ... They'd even possibly get back the 650k TNA viewers!

Apparantly Destination America are upset at people talking about the ratings online as these are apparantly not correct but infact the Twitter ratings. A press release will be released on Monday with the ratings.

There are two sets of ratings flying about. One is 263,000 and one is 359,000. If they are that upset maybe they should have put out a press release the day after ratings were released.

From what I've read, I'm led to believe that the higher figure is the actual rating, although this does not factor in the repeat showing.

Isn't even the higher rating less than half what they got on Spike

Watching the return of Impact tonight...I'm pretty excited, managed to avoid spoilers apart from one match. I really prefer the four sided ring though.

As said people will not pay for a channel just to watch TNA, People who have the channel may watch but they won't make people buy the channel |
