Memphis TV Ratings - How Bad Is It??

----How bad is it?? Take a look at the last three years of ratings for the 1st Quarter of the year. In the two year span they have lost 54% of their viewers. The main cause of this decrease was the change in the time slot from AM to PM. The loss in the 9000+ viewers this year can be contributed to the reruns.

----On an internet radio show in September, 2006 Corey Maclin made the statement that he could make money with a rating of 2.0 to 2.5. So, I guess Maclin is still making money and that is all that matters. I do know that he has to pretty much air repeats now, but can he at least try to put on a repackaged show or does the TV station prevent him from doing that?? A major point brought up to me by a few people is – why would a company that buys this station want to produce a wrestling show that draws this kind of ratings?? It is almost like Maclin is just shooting himself in the foot.
