While TNA or Spike aren't alarmed at the 0.6 rating this past week, both parties understand that changes need to be made. Depending on how they do Monday, they will either change and hour earlier or possibly be moved back to Thursday Nights. TNA right now is one of Spike's hottest properties and they know that a strong TNA will only make them a stronger network, ad-wise. Regardless of what is being said by TNA President Dixie Carter and others within the company, tomorrow night's live Impact on April 5 airing one hour earlier from 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET (instead of the usual 9:00-11:00 p.m.) is an experiment to see if the show will perform stronger in a different timeslot. They are still slated to return to the old timeslot next week on April 12, but they are definitely looking at the idea of moving it up one hour considering how low numbers have been since March 8. Despite TNA's ratings in the U.S. being at their lowest in years, numbers in the UK have been growing ever since the arrival of Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair. The March 14 show on Bravo set a new record with 114,000 viewers.
