TatiG – Can’t wait for Heat v. OKC Finals. Lakers v. Heat would have been ratings of all time, but Heat v. OKC would be the best basketball money can buy
————————
Don’t discount the Spurs so fast. If i was buying stock for a long term investment i would buy all the OKC i could. I think the Spurs experience & coach Pop will beat OKC this year. Next year & for years to come (5-7) barring injury OKC will be in the finals. It’s going to be a heck of series regardless who wins. JMO
Chelsea better hookup with another rapper ASAP.
Her ratings are down & AYTC was cancelled.
@Mike – MMA Uncensored, to my knowledge, has never made the top 100 for the night in either total audiences, the 25-54 demo, or the 18-49 demo. Its highest rating was 560k (with a low of 330k) and regularly retains only 33%-25% of the Impact Wrestling audience. Decent numbers for Spike at the 11 o’clock hour – though, notably lower than TNA Reaction & generic Action Movies in the same time slot – but not enough to qualify for the nightly 100.
The TNA Impact Wrestling time shift move seems pretty risky on the surface. It is currently Spike’s highest rated program (and one of the two programs airings on Spike that consistently breaks one million viewers), and with all of Viacom’s cable brands in ratings purgatory I doubt they’d want harm the numbers of one of their strongest performers. At least, like Impact Wrestling ill-fated move to Monday, they can always move it back if things get bleak.
I must say, Impact Wrestling is the best show on Thursday nights for me.
Chelsea is renewed thought 2013 or 2014 so she will be around. Her and Kathy have the same fans so idk what’s going to happen. I’m worried. Because Kathy is nOt going anywhere with those ratings. But also neither is Chelsea. It will be interesting to see what happens.
