WWE Vs. TNA UK Ratings, AM RAW Rating
Partial Source: Pwinsider
– The November 19th edition of WWE AM RAW scored a 0.23 (0.2) cable rating, with 487,000 viewers.
– Here is the latest WWE & TNA UK ratings information:
TNA:
Bound For Glory drew 186,000 viewers on a three-day tape delay (with no replays, save for the Challenge +1 timeshift channel – something that is really annoying, given that Impact gets a replay!)
As for Impact, looking at the first airings only (3 days after the US):
September 15 – no rating (would mean 114,000 viewers or less)
September 22 – 141,000
September 19 – 137,000 (-4,000 viewers)
October 6 – 184,000 (+47,000)
October 13 – 169,000 (-15,000)
October 20 – 147,000 (-22,000)
October 27 – 191,000 (+44,000)
November 3 – 197,000 (+6,000)
Quite a fluctuation here; Impact fell off a cliff in mid September, leading to them not appearing on Challenge's top ten for what I think would be the first time since they moved onto the station earlier in 2011. The viewership did recover, before dropping off before Bound For Glory, although the post-BFG stuff with Roode and Storm looks to have helped the show back to some good ratings.
WWE:
On the WWE front, two pay-per-views aired on "free" TV on Sky Sports.
Night of Champions: airing live, drew 156,000 viewers, with a replay the following night drawing 98,000.
Vengeance got 130,000 live, with 43,000 the following evening on the replay.

A few stories here – Raw staying on the same channel at the same time every week leads to a fair amount of consistency, with the ratings changes most likely a result of viewers' feelings from the prior week. SmackDown largely stays on the same channel/same time (Sky Sports 3 at 10pm) – a change of channel has more effect than a delayed start, most likely due to people using series-link features getting caught out.
