I love how the inside sources always spin this bullshit as positive once they join a new inferior channel.
Dixie said that being in Destination America was a game changer because they were gonna give them a second show, the second show was a replay of Impact with Mike Tenay. It got cancelled after a couple of weeks.
Dixie and Josh said that being on Pop TV was a win because they had the executives support, they also said that it was a lie that they were paying Pop to be on the air. Later we know it was a lie thanks to the Corgan lawsuit and that tna in fact was giving Pop half of their ad revenue.
So don’t spin this as a positive. Y’all going to a shit channel that nobody has and draws lower ratings than public access.

What sucks is that Impact is putting a really good product, but can't find a decent channel, let alone a good time slot. Well, the product is better than it was in 2017, and there has been a lot less LOLTNA, but there are no interesting stories and no real buzz about the product, and the feuds go on for way too long. Tessa vs Taya has been going on for months, as has Eddie vs Moose. The Undead Realm storyline doesn't look like ending anytime soon and has tied up most of the Womens Division. The build to their big PPV Title matches is also underwhelming - The build to the main event of Bound for Glory this year was Johnny Impact being given a title match then no build until those tweets by Impact and Aries.
They've also forgotten about likable characters, and apart from Fallah Bahh and KM, there were hardly any on Impact this year. Usually, it was asshole vs asshole, like with LAX (managed by Konnan) vs The OGz and Eddie Edwards vs Austin Aries.

I don’t get the channel. I’m not paying to get it or going out of my way to get it either. So long TNA / Impact. ✌️

Pursuit is what would happen if the YouTube comments section became a channel.

Sure Impact is gonna be available in less households but if you listen to D'Amore and Callis they also want to build the brand on twitch and YouTube too. Honestly with where TNA was a year ago I think it's best to continue to rebuild image and just be happy they got a tv deal It seems like they’re on perpetual rebuilding.

Oh my god. From the TV Guide channel to a hunting channel.
I hope it works out for them, but my goodness.

Never heard of the channel. I hope it’s financially lucrative because otherwise they might literally do better streaming on twitch or YouTube.

To those who can no longer watch Impact on TV, it's available on Global Wrestling Network for free after its aired. It's the only way I watch Impact.
To be as TNA as possible, free watchers are meant to have ads but they never load (at least for me), meaning they get no gain whatsoever.

You know, this new channel actually makes sense. After all, remember when creditors and business partners constantly hunted and pursued TNA in search of money the company owed them?

Tessa/Taya has only been going on since October...but Eddie/Moose has to end at Homecoming.

MORE ON NATURE OF IMPACT WRESTLING'S NEW TV DEAL AND MORE By Mike Johnson on 2018-12-21 15:42:00
Impact Wrestling's new TV deal with Pursuit HD is not an exclusive deal, PWInsider.com has exclusively learned. The Pursuit move is being seen as a way for Impact to take a breather and not have to worry about where the show will air as they still try to pursue a larger scale deal. With Anthem having interest in Pursuit, it was an easy move for the series to make and should Impact find a more beneficial network, home, they would have the ability to shift the series elsewhere. If that happens (and of course, it's a big if), Pursuit has already shown interest in carrying other Impact programming, including potentially carrying Xplosion and a Best of series. While Impact could have remained on Pop going into 2019, another reason Impact wanted to move the series as soon as possible was that the company realized that as Pop continues to rebrand themselves and shift programming around, Impact was going to become more and more troublesome for the network. The feeling was it was better to move on their own and retain the great relationship they had as opposed to getting to a point where Pop would have to pull them. While nothing has been announced, Impact will likely move to Fridays at 10 PM on The Fight Network in Canada in order to keep everything airing at the same time. There are no current plans for replays on Pursuit HD. As of now, it will be the two hour broadcast on Fridays. Impact realizes that the move to Pursuit will see them lose a portion of their former viewership and while some in the company are spinning this as a positive, others are not as happy, feeling it was another step downward in prestige. The company is working on potential ways for the Impact Wrestling weekly series to be seen on digital platforms, but nothing has been worked out as of this writing.

Well, that's it for me with Impact unless they get to a different channel or some kind of streaming service. Don't currently get Pursuit, am not going to pay extra just for that.

Every show on this channel is an outdoor hunting/fishing show. I can only hope this means Impact is filmed in the woods and they introduce a raccoon division.
