[Sawyer]

Hier noch die Viertelstundenwerte:

TNA Impact Wrestling on Thursday, September 1 is confirmed for a 1.06 rating, with a first hour 1.03 rating and second hour 1.09 rating.

The first hour rating was the second-lowest of the year, trailing the June 9 episode's 1.01 first hour rating against the NBA Finals. This was highlighted by the second-lowest Q1 rating of the year for the weekly Immortal talking segment to open Impact.

Impact opened with a 1.01 rating, dipped to a show-low 0.99 rating in Q2, then fluctuated between a 1.02 and 1.14 rating the remainder of the show.

Impact peaked in Q5 to begin the second hour with Mickie James vs. Winter for the Knockouts Title, then returned to the same rating in Q8 to end the show with Kurt Angle vs. Sting for the TNA World Title.

Each quarter-hour was well-below its average on the year. Other than Q8 being six percent below its 2011 average, the range was 9-16 percent below the corresponding quarter-hour averages.

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact opened with a 1.01 rating for Immortal's Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, and Sting in the ring for a promo exchange, followed by a commercial break. (down 15.6% vs. 2011 average)

Q2: Impact dipped slightly to a show-low 0.99 rating for Rob Van Dam vs. Gunner in a BFG Series match, one commercial break, and the start of Bischoff's Knockouts segment. (down 15.3% vs. 2011 average)

Q3: Impact upticked to a 1.07 rating for Bischoff and Karen Jarrett's talking segment with the Knockouts, one commercial, and the first-half of an X Division tag match. (down 9.0% vs. 2011 average)

Q4: Impact dipped slightly to a 1.03 rating for the second-half of the tag match, and a full commercial break. (down 8.8% vs. 2011 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: The second hour started with a show-high 1.14 rating for a video package hyping Jeff Hardy's return, Mickie James vs. Winter in Knockouts action, and one commercial break. Since the whole show was below the 2011 average, this segment didn't provide much of a boost comparable to the year. (down 9.1% vs. 2011 average)

Q6: Impact dropped to a 1.05 rating for Samoa Joe and Matt Morgan's brawling segment, various video packages and backstage segments, and two full commercial breaks. This was the only quarter-hour with two full breaks, which dragged down the quarter-hour. (down 11.4% vs. 2011 average)

Q7: Impact dipped slightly to a second-hour low 1.02 rating for Hogan backstage and the full A.J. Styles vs. Daniels match. (down 12.6% vs. 2011 average)

Q8: Impact continued the ups and down pattern by closing with a 1.14 rating, tied with Q5 for the highest of the show, for the Kurt Angle vs. Sting main event with Hogan as ringside enforcer. There was also one commercial. (down 5.6% vs. 2011 average)
