UPDATE: This was in the TNA announcement, but it was
buried at the bottom of the press release. If you want to know whether your
cable provider carries iMPACT’s new home of Destination America is available in
your home, go here.
ORIGINAL: Spike TV issued the following statement
regarding TNA’s departure from the network. According to the end date revealed
in the statement, it appears that the previously rumored “best of” episodes of
iMPACT! will air on December 3rd, 10th, 17th and finally on the 24th.
Our partnership with TNA Wrestling will officially come to
an end with our last telecast on December 24.
Dixie Carter and her team have been incredible partners to work with over the
past 9 years, delivering high-action entertainment and strong ratings.
As Spike continues to evolve into a network reaching a broader audience, we
continue to look across our schedule to find opportunities to add original
scripted and non-scripted programming that appeals to a wider demographic.
On behalf of everyone at Spike, we would like to wish Dixie and TNA all the
best and continued success.
Kevin Kay President, Spike TV
