viewers], which is 38% less of the audience that they have been averaging for the last 12 weeks. This is not the lowest rating of the year, but the third quarter had the third lowest amount of viewers of all year long. Last year’s ratings for this time period are almost identical scoring a 2.3 with just over 37,000 viewers. So, possibly it is just that time of year and most people are not watching. But, the “What Was Memphis Watching” number [highest rated program in the wrestling time slot] was only 11% less than last week. What really made the fans turn off the show?? There were over 26,000 fans turning off the TV after the first quarter and they did not come back. The first quarter was pretty good TV. The third quarter dipped to 1.5, but came back up 1.6 [same numbers as second] quarter, so it is hard to tell if the “Opening The Vault” segment was the cause of it this week. When you got numbers like this, then it is hard to argue your case with the TV station that wants to cut costs.-Maclin joined by Hart
