I guess that makes finding a title for the book covering their overall history a bit easier to come up with.

TNA ending up on weird outdoors networks is the gift that keeps on giving.

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.

Well it's been a great run but it's come to an end. Much like pretty much else I don't get this channel. I started with TNA in 2009 and now it ends in 2019. Good thing I have snippets save don the DVR so I can still see Scarlett.

They just keep on sinking lower and lower, and the death slot is still in effect.

So let me get this straight. Impact didn't like being on at 10:00 Thursday on Pop so they go to Pursuit (whatever the hell that is) a channel in 60% fewer homes than Pop and they're still on at 10:00 but now on Friday nights. Brilliant. Was Josh involved in this? Did Dixie come back?

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. I don’t trust tna to give them my personal information and credit card. Specially after the internet browser said that it wasn’t a safe site lol.

The new wrestling companies ranking.
1. WWE 2. New Japan 3. ROH 4. Lucha Underground 5. Impact.
Another cancellation and MLW takes their place.

So a channel I don’t get on Comcast?
I have taped the last ten or so shows but haven’t watched them yet. I just got bored with it. I have been watching TNA since about 2004?
So well, it’s been a nice run but I guess they are dead to me now, joining NJPW on channels I can’t watch. I’m a little bummed.

They will get paid more than being on Pop TV, they couldve gone to El Rey Network but I guess that means LU will comeback(even though DeJoseph doesnt know if a new LU Season will happen).
And also Smackdown will be on Friday Nights once the move to Fox.

What surprises me about is that Anthem owns the channel and still TNA managed to end up in a worse slot than on POP.
Fridays at 10 is the....."We might own you but we don't want anyone to know we own you" slot

At this point it's not even "Huh, I've never heard of that channel", it's a given that TNA is finding its way onto progressively more niche and unavailable channels. Down from Destination America to the rebranded TV Guide channel to "Destination America without all the really fake ghost shows". This is an absolute mess and it tells me they don't really have a solid offer from any station, because the initial plan to sit on Pop until they had something was a fine stopgap while working out something new, but if they're moving networks it means they don't see any real hope of bringing a change about through the next while and that nobody really has interest enough to take them on, because if they did, they would likely try to keep working with Pop because moving to one channel only to shortly move to another channel is a terrible idea and anyone involved in TV would know it. They have no better prospects and Pursuit is a longer term move than anyone is likely to want to admit.

I sincerely have never heard of this channel Its likely to get ratings on par with Lucha Underground. Actually, with El Rey being on at least 10 million more homes and LU being in a prime day and time, LU will probably beat them with ease..

Especially as the talent used by both companies will be booked far better in LU.

It seems like Pop probably didn't even want them back. Anthem is just keeping them on one of their channels just to try and save face.

Impact's ratings were already falling into the toilet and I reckon a huge part of their core audience won't even be able to watch the show now as they don't get or want Pursuit. I think LU beating Smackdown's Sloppy Seconds is almost a given. The only reason this is probably considered more financially lucrative for Impact than Pop is because Anthem has an ownership stake in the network.

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 I check out there twitch streams and they don’t seem to be doing very well
