NWA:TNA announced last week that they would have a major announcement that would, "Change the face of NWA:TNA forever" on this Wednesday's PPV broadcast. If you‘ve been keeping up with the news you‘d know that the announcement will most likely be the debut of NWA:TNA's Fox Sports Network tv show timeslot.
The show will be titled "NWA:TNA IMPACT!". IMPACT will debut on Friday 6/4 at 3 PM Eastern. Apparently timeslot has been set aside for TNA for the next 52 weeks. It is also rumored that TNA will move to a better timeslot if the show does well in the current timeslot. They will be taping the weekly PPVs in Nashville then will charter a flight to bring the crew over to Florida. The Fox Sports Network shows will be taped on Thursdays in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios
This is a huge change for the TNA promotion and they are really taking it up a notch with this jump to national TV. Many are thinking that the WWE needs to start looking at TNA as more of a serious threat now that they are on nation wide television and will be getting great exposure in the sports media. Many are thinking that while the WWE is looked at by media as ‘entertainment’, Fox Sports will be able to advertise TNA as ‘sport’ to the media, while ‘entertainment’ to the fans.
