TNA Impact Wrestling rating: Did the limited commercial interruptions lead to a better rating?

Thursday's TNA Impact Wrestling television show scored a 1.27 rating, which is up from the 1.17 rating the show drew last week. The show averaged 1.8 million viewers compared to 1.7 million viewers last week.

Powell's POV: The lack of commercials appears to have helped maintain viewership. This is a quality rating by Impact standards, and it will be interesting to see whether they can maintain it next week when things return to normal as far as the commercial breaks go.
