I remember watching the TV Guide channel for fun when I was a kid. Like, before they added programming to it. 2/3 of the screen was taken up with the listings, and there'd be weather or something in one of the boxes on top.

I'd still probably be more entertained by that than by watching Impact.

Didn't someone here mention that the POP TV deal would be costly for them? Like they had to buy into it or something.

“Wrestling has been a fan-fueled staple since the ‘50s, and continues to

ABOUT POP

Fans don’t sit at the outskirts of pop culture making snarky comments.
They live right smack in the middle of it, sharing, creating, and
connecting their passions with others. At Pop, fans finally have a
destination that celebrates the fun of being a fan. Fans aren’t even
fans anymore — they’re gladiators, tributes, human beings and
blockheads.
Seen in more than 80 million homes, Pop gives fans a
dedicated channel that loves being a fan as much as they do. A channel
that respects talent over celebrity. A channel filled with optimism,
passion, humor, and excitement. A channel that understands the fun
doesn’t stop when the credits roll… it’s really just the beginning.

Pop is a joint venture of CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) and
Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF). The partnership combines CBS’s programming,
production and marketing assets with Lionsgate’s resources in motion
pictures, television and digitally delivered content. Pop’s ownership
structure is comprised of the company with the #1 broadcast network and
many of the top first-run syndication series (“Entertainment Tonight,”
“The Insider”) and the studio that produces and distributes the
blockbuster “Hunger Games,” “Twilight” and “Divergent” franchises and
produces such award-winning TV series as “Mad Men” and “Orange is the
New Black.”

Blockheads?

So seriously, where does TNA get the money to keep going at the level they are at?

I know Dixie's parents reduced her budget, but Panda is still pumping money into this to keep it limping along right? There's no way they're making money off of tickets.

Well, Jarrett did sell his stock in the company earlier in September, that probably got them through to the end of October.

TNA has to make money off ad revenue when aside from the stigma against wrestling, no one wants to be associated with a brand called TNA. DA had advertisers tell them they specifically didn't want to buy time on Impact, jesus if they just renamed the drat company they'd have a marginally better chance of succeeding

Not that I'm doubting that they'd do something as stupid as a timebuy in 205 when they can't even sell tickets, but where does that info come from? There was nothing on that in the Observe.

That will only happen when they can't pay anymore. Which, come to think of it, might actually not be that improbable.
