MMAPayout.com has learned that the second episode of TUF 11 generated a 1.2 HH rating from an average audience of 1.5 million people. The show also fared well in the M18-34 and M18-49 demographics, drawing a 1.9 and 1.54, respectively.
The quarter hours were as follows: 1.1, 1.12, 1.2, and 1.29
Payout Perspective:
Not surprisingly the ratings dropped from the debut episode, but the good news for Spike and the UFC is that the drop wasn’t as drastic as the one experienced by TUF 9 (where it went from 1.8 to 1.1). Still the show looks to be trending back towards that 1.0 range, which is the average for the series.
Even with these low ratings, I wonder what Spike would do without the UFC as part of their programming.
they”ll probably make a ton more shows like deadliest warriors, manswers, tna, dea and 1000 ways to die at a tenth of the price they pay for tuf and ufc programming… and pretty much the same or better ratings… and go on their merry way with lower margins and higher profits…but didnt they just extend their deal with the ufc until 2012?
