----Memphis Wrestling scored a 4.3 [71,557.8 viewers] this week making it the highest rated late night show they have aired. This is their best rating since the 8.5.06 show, which scored a 4.5 rating. When time was changed from 11:00 AM in the morning starting on 9.2.06 the first rating that came in was a 3.9. The 16 weeks leading up to the change, the show was drawing average of 3.7. Corey Maclin and company should be proud of this number. Last week’s show was bad [in quality] and they bounced back putting on a decent show for the viewers to see.
----The first quarter of the show ended with Kidd vs King in the ring scoring a 3.8 [63754.18 viewers]. The second quarter was the highest scoring a whopping 5.0 [83,895.8] with a 20,141.7 viewer increase. This quarter started with the finish of the Kidd vs King match, the Lawler/Rat angle and then finished in the middle of the concession stand brawl segment. The third quarter dropped to 4.2 [70,579 viewers] decreasing 13,316.8 viewers. That quarter had the finish of the “Opening the Vault” segment and ended with the Brown/White/Lawler vs Cowboys/Foley bout. The fourth quarter dropped another 3,997 viewers scoring a 4.0 [66,584 viewers]. That final quarter had the “Too Cool 2” interview and the 8-man tag match.
----If you look at the whole month of September with the show being in late night, the show has average a 3.6 rating. For the first month, the company can say that the time change has not done anything to the rating. The ratings have stayed the same. I think that is good for the company as a whole, but as always they will put on good shows and bad shows. The 20,141.7 viewer increase in the second quarter was a big plus as everyone got to see the Lawler/Rat angle and some of the concession brawl. Not sure why everyone did not stick around to watch the 6 man tag they were building though. The show continued to go downward and finished with only 2,827.8 more viewers than the beginning of the show.
