This week's episode of TNA iMPACT scores a 1.2 cable rating, with an average audience of 1.6 million viewers. IMPACT was the #2 cable program in the Males 18-49 and Males 18-34 demographics, with NBA on TNT once again taking the top slot away from TNA.

Here is the complete breakdown of the quarter hour ratings:

Q1: 1.01 (M.E.M. in the ring; Foley backstage)
Q2: 1.09 (Red/Suicide vs. Machine Guns; Beautiful People speak)
Q3: 1.15 (Abyss, LAX, & Foley/Machine Guns backstage)

Reminiscent of TNA's ratings trends in 2008, the Knockouts match featuring Awesome Kong was the highest rated segment of the show and also drew the biggest viewership increase of the show. This week's show also broke the three-week long trend of Scott Steiner being the company's top ratings draw, as Steiner was only featured in the background during M.E.M. segments.
