TNA Impact Wrestling TV rating: Final numbers for the December 5 show

Thursday's TNA Impact Wrestling television show drew a 1.0 rating, up from the 0.7 rating the show drew on Thanksgiving. TNA drew 1.241 million viewers, down from the 921,000 viewer average from the previous week.

Powell's POV: The awful Thursday night football game between the Jaguars and Texans drew 4.633 million viewers for NFL Network and topped the cable viewership charts. One negative about the Impact numbers is that the show produced its best numbers in four of the first five quarter-hours, and the last 30 minutes of the show were responsible for the lowest numbers of the night.
