A replay of Monday’s TNA Impact will air Thursday night on Spike TV at 9PM (ET).
The network was originally scheduled to air a movie in that time slot, but apparently the decision was made today to replay Monday’s iMPACT! instead.
Update: TNA President Dixie Carter just wrote the following on Twitter: “The large # of viewers to watch iMPACT! replay last week made Spike want to re-air the show again tonight.”
SEScoops Commentary: This is a great move by Spike TV. Last week’s Thursday replay drew the same rating as the Monday night airing. Some felt that TNA cutting out the Thursday night replay would make fans watch the Monday show, but after this week’s 0.8 rating, TNA can’t afford to turn away an additional million plus viewers seeing their show later in the week. One could make the argument that a Thursday replay would take away from the Monday rating .. While there is some overlap in viewership, there’s also tons of viewers who only watched the Thursday show last week, so its crazy to cut into the overall audience.
