Impact will air on twitch at the live at the same time it airs on Pursuit, as announced during Homecoming.
Super hyped for this actually. Wrestling with twitch chat is so good.

A desperately needed move, honestly. They need to find some way to mitigate the loss of viewers going onto such a nothing channel provides.

Good idea for them to do that, but sounds like the new network isn't particularly invested in them if they're willing to let them do that.
Either way I can't see myself bothering to remember Impact exists.

This is... probably the smartest thing they've done in a long time.

...on the one hand, this will allow me to follow the show for once.
On the other, I can imagine the technical glitches that'll happen.

It's still dead for now. Things may change in the future, but this last minute announcement was really only a last desperate gasp as people do have other things to do that they have already lined up. |

I guess this also means the GWN still not ready for simulcasting Impact.
The IW chat is hilarious too so this is a good decision by the company.

Either way I can't see myself bothering to remember Impact exists. The deal with Pursuit isn't even an exclusive one. When they were negotiating the deal the President of Pursuit had this to say: "Put whatever you want in that time slot ****. If you're not man enough to hunt and instead just push paper like a woman then I ain't talkin' to you no more, city boy." *Spits out chewing tobacco* *Fires gun aimlessly into the air* *Replace the **** with the most backwards insult you can think of. |

I don't want to say I was anticipating this, but... Third cancellation holy shit. Is there anything lower than pop tv for them to go there? Public access? Maybe just stream their shows for free on their Twitch channel?
...yeah.

I expected a lot more LOLTNA jokes by the bandwagon haters, glad to see that wasn't the case.....so far.
Hell I'm happy about this, it means I can watch it now. Good move by Impact.

In regards to the thread itself, good i'm glad they went this direction. Even if they go to another TV station later this is a good way to keep people in with the product but you need to do more
This is a good first step

The only real downside is that it's still streaming at the Friday Night Death Slot at 10 PM, so live streaming numbers probably won't be great compared to what they could be if they were airing at a timeslot on a day people watched TV. But this is a good idea since like only 20 people watch Pursuit. It should help offset a lot of the inevitable losses in viewership due to the channel move.
Hopefully they have the smart idea to keep their episodes archived on their Twitch account so people can catch the episodes whenever.

Friday Nights usually gamers stay at home playing and streaming/watching on twitch, wonder if Impact plans to target those people?
