Can We Discuss The Fact Destination America Is Showing Ads

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

The one thing I noticed already Destination America is hyping IMPACT, while watching The Haunted today I noticed two commercials last week was about four. I honestly don't recall a single commercial on SPIKE hyping Impact. So maybe Destination America actually cares

[Sephiroth]

Evidently not

Spike gave them a lot of commercial time but it would be around one of Dixie's milestones. Move to Spike they had one every commercial break during RAW, moving from late Saturdays to whatever the next time was they got a hell of lot, getting Kurt and going to primetime they had a bunch, Foley and Hogan each got TV and billboards and so on. The problem was TNA would find a way to blow it and Spike would give up until the next "If we only...." was achieved. I'd also see them during daytime shows on occasion.

I'd expect the same here to be honest.

I do find it interesting that most of the footage is Kurt, Lashley, and Jeff Hardy I am guessing because of name recognition

[ICBM]

^you got it dude. You kind of have to.

[Push R Truth]

They are missing the valuable Shark Boy demographic


Sure there might only be like 2 of us in that demographic but we spend money dammit!

Yep, Spike bought a big ass billboard in the middle of times square hyping Impact for months when Hogan was going to show up / first arrived.

Also I remember seeing Impact commercials on random times as well when watching Bar Rescue.

When I watched Spike, I remember seeing TNA ads. I guess people wanted those ads to run every commercial break.

[Andrew is Good]

I remember Spike having a lot of commercials for Spike. Spike also gave TNA a lot of money to sign some big name talent.

The idea that Spike was a bad partner to TNA is garbage. TNA was a bad partner for Spike. Spike bent over backwards for TNA. The fact that Spike dropped TNA is TNA's fault, not Spike's. Spike could have canned them months ago, and they would have had no where to show their TV. Hell, even though the past few weeks were put at different hours, Spike still put on TNA even though it was not first run programming, in prime time no less. So yeah, Spike was great to TNA and I hate the idea that people believe otherwise.

Are we that desperate to try and make SPike the bad guys? To make untrue advertising claims?

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

It occurred to me that I haven't seen any TNA ads because I haven't watched Destination America at all. So a couple hours ago, mostly because it's late at night and there isn't anything else on now, I turned it there just to have something on. I've seen a few TNA ads on and it looks like they shined up their new logo. It's all 3D looking in the commercials.

[xCompackx]

I don't know if this was just a local thing, but I remember a few times where there'd be TNA PPV ads during Raw's commercial breaks which I thought was pretty clever.

[Sephiroth]

Are they advertising only on Destination America, or are they showing on other Discovery owned channels as well?
