| TNA OFF FOX SPORTS NETWORK ACCORDING TO TV LISTINGS; FINAL EPISODE TO AIR THIS FRIDAY by Mike Johnson It appears TNA's run with the Fox Sports Network will end with this Friday's episode of Impact!, scheduled for 5/27 at 4 PM. Impact! is not listed for the following Friday 6/3 on Fox Sports,with their timeslot instead filled by "The World Series of Darts" and there are no listings for TNA anywhere on Fox Sports' schedule for the months of June and July, which is as far as the schedules are posted. TNA taped two episodes at their last taping in Universal Studios on 5/17, so it would certainly appear the company is about to go dark beyond their scheduled PPVs this summer. There have been a lot of rumors in recent weeks circulating about the future of TNA's home on television. While no one seems to be certain for sure, the story making the rounds within TNA was that some sort of announcement would be made shortly regarding their TV situation. I do know that conversations had been ongoing with WGN and Spike TV in recent weeks, with many inside TNA believing that WGN was the stronger of the two possibilities. There has been nothing but optimism from those I have spoken to within the company, so hopefully that optimism won't be for naught. That's not to say all signs re negative for the future of the company. Last week, TNA signed both NWA champion AJ Styles and X-Division champion Christopher Daniels to new three year deals and announced plans for an August PPV event, titled Sacrifice. There are still dates listed at Universal Studios through 7/19 as well. Credit: PWInsider.com |
