The Wednesday, December 2nd, edition of TNA Impact on Destination America did its second lowest first-run audience in its history.

Last night's show, featuring the ninth week of the World title tournament, drew just 221,000 viewers for its 9-11 PM shows. The number was down from last week's 234,000, and beat only the 11/18 episode (202,0000) for a first run show on Destination America. The midnight replay show did 73,000 viewers.

The combined two show total of 294,000 was also the second lowest in history, and only the second time the total of both airings was less than 300,000 viewers.

The show featured Drew Galloway vs. Lashley in the main event, Jessie Godderz vs. Awesome Kong, Tigre Uno vs. Gail Kim, and Bobby Roode vs. Matt Hardy.

Now fully in lame duck mode on Destination America, TNA is moving to POP TV in the first week of January, debuting on Tuesday, January 5th.

Not sure if this had any effect (or even if this was the first time it happened) but I did notice that there were no commercials for Impact this week during the show, which there always used to be. I'd assume DA has decided not to put any more effort into them now that they have announced that they are going elsewhere.
