That's Spike. Soon they're becoming Paramount, which is supposed to be the premium cable spearhead of the entire Viacom group. I don't really see them going "here is all our new high quality drama productions, oh and we're also bringing back Impact Wrestling".

Hi we are USA, we are the cable spearhead of NBC Universal. Here are all of our high quality drama productions, oh and we also have five hours of wrestling content on two consecutive days.

TNA on Spike would probably get near their old 0.9-1.1 rating regardless of content due to high carriage rates (insert that .gif here) and they were fine with it treading water as long as Dixie and Russo didn't defy the network, which Jarrett and Anthem likely won't do.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Maybe if they moved back to Thursday, but TNA started to have problems achieving a 0.8 rating at the end there.

I have no idea why you think they'd get close to their old .9-1.1 rating now. TNA is doing 1/3 of the viewership it did on Spike on channels with half to 3/4s the penetration of Spike. In their last two years on Spike they averaged under a 1.0 and had dipped greatly under that in their last six months on the channel. Viewership declined even harder than ratings. It took USA's ratings plummeting for them to put Smackdown on their network. USA went from #1 to ~5 or so. Their high quality drama productions all tanked or ended their runs so they have nothing that compares to five years ago.
