[shadow=red,left,300]Spike TV have offered TNA a two-hour show but the deal is being held up over money. Spike wants a multi-year exclusive commitment from TNA but TNA feels they will be able to build up Impact's ratings to a steady 1.4 by the summer and then be able to get more money. TNA's contract with The Wrestling Channel in the UK expires at the end of the year and will not be renewed. They have signed an exclusive contract with another station, rumoured to be Bravo, who also air UFC.[/shadow]
Now, Im not one to question bookers, and owners but thats dumb.

So TNA will be off the Wrestling Channel? That's a plus for me, I dont have the wrestling channel on the count of me having telewest.

Yeah, sad thing is I've seen Bravo have TNA labelled as a new WWE spin off. Although lately thats been rewrote.

I noticed that too! They've been showing some semi-old TNA PPVs, and it says its a WWE spin off. Very strange.
Ah well, I have both channels so it doesnt bother me too much as long as it's still around somewhere. I guess things are looking up for TNA, which is great! I hope they do get their bigger money deal, if only to make things more interesting.

I really like TNA waiting on two hours. They don't need to compete right now with WWE. I seriously say give them a nice two or three more years to grow and help gain more history and then they are ready. Sure, let them have two hours, but it isn't necessary yet. If they do, I believe they will need to tape the shows once a week instead of a large batch each week. That way, it's more like SmackDown!.
