Last night’s episode of Impact Wrestling drew 293,000 viewers in live and same night DVR viewing on Pop TV. That is down from the 325,000 last week but above the 275,000 the week before.

It’s a typical rating in that it’s right in line with the February average of 287,750 and the average for 2017 so far this year headed into this week of 291,875, and slightly above the ten-week rolling average headed into this week of 276,800.

Keller’s Analysis: With the new managerial and creative regime in place at this new set of tapings this week, these are the numbers they’ll be judged against. Let’s see whether the new creative team with a new mix of talent can convince infrequent viewers to watch start to finish every week, and if they can generate a buzz to grow the viewership.
