Viewership for 5/30 IMPACT

The May 30th episode of IMPACT (returning to the old timeslot) had 1,016,000 viewers (down from nearly 1.4 million last week). This is the least watched episode of IMPACT this year. Last week's show didn't have NBA competition while this show did. The show had a 0.83 rating.

Reaction: There might be some alarm in the TNA offices, especially since many believed the numbers would grow. I would say it will take a few weeks for the impact of the new timeslot to kick in. This number isn't good though.

Last week, the show had a hook with AJ being "patched in" and James Storm's mystery partner. This week there wasn't really a storyline hook. The most compelling thing going into last night's episode of IMPACT was the location of BFG and TNA gave that away on Twitter beforehand.
