n a recent interview TNA's Craig Jenkins said that the company plans on holding 96 non-televised events within the next year.
Jenkins also said that iMPACT will be expanded to two hours sometime around September or October. With SpikeTV moving UFC's Ultimate Fighter to Wednesdays, it appears they are clearing room for a long iMPACT.

The SpikeTV part is complete opinion and not from the original article. While we know that Spike is clearing out room for a potential 2-hour Impact, no news has come out in the past week or so to tell which way TNA is leaning. As far as we know, Spike is clearing out the timeslot for TNA, and TNA has had (at least) three meetings with Fox. That's about it. The article insinuates that there isn't going to be a move to a Fox-owned station (unless they keep the same timeslot), but nobody knows for sure either way yet.

It doesn't really matter.. 2 hours is 2 hours. Is it your time of the month already SG? Calm down. Fox gives TNA more exposure and will probably be more willing to give them more TV time and programming as was rumored. It's been like pulling teeth for Spike to give them something. I'm fine with them being on spike if that's what they choose but I'd much prefer FOX |

Well, excuse me for stating 2 hours is 2 hours regardless. Tone it down about 8 notches. Why are you fighting over this? I have only said: "It doesn't really matter.. 2 hours is 2 hours." to him. I'm not fighting about anything. I simply stated that it doesn't matter who they are on as long as they are two hours it'll be good. The only other thing I said (which wasn't to him but to Blackjack) was my comment about who gives a crap if it's live or taped. I only made those two comments before he came back with his comment which I replied to with "Well, excuse me for stating 2 hours is 2 hours regardless". I'm not fighting with anyone. I'm stating my opinion just like he is. |

TV Deal - Check Primetime - Check Two Hour - Almost Check Then worrying about live last. well if you could kill several birds with one stone, why wouldn't you? They have a better chance at going live with FOX, they'll get more programming, and more exposure. |

Everythings speculation now. Spike cleared out 2 hours but is that necessarily for TNA ? And if it is, it's probably a preemptive move to persuade them. either way, TNA is in a win win situation. If both companies want tna, tna has the leverage. I look at Fox's programing...spread out over several networks, tie ins with worldwide advertisers, revolutionary programming(sometimes), appeal to a larger audience. Just those factors make FOX the more attractive deal. If they go with Spike, fine, but their bette option from my standpoint is FOX...obviously TNA will make the best decision for themselves.

They have a better chance at going live with FOX, they'll get more programming, and more exposure. Yeah, but this would be FOX's first time having wrestling (to my knowledge) we don't know what to expect from that. Look at Sci-Fi they was the ones who wanted The Zombie on ECW that time. We don't know what FOX would want them to feature on it. But, we know SpikeTV expects & the only thing (to my knowledge agian) they asked for is to tone down beating down women. I'm not saying going to FOX would be bad & could be better in the long run but it's one of those things where we don't know what to expect & want know untill they sign & debut. So, it's one of those things where we just have to wait it out. As long as they get two hours i'm fine with it. |

I doubr Fox is gonna ask for much to change since they are probably the most edegy of the national network stations. At this point I just question Spike's comittment or even credibility...I mean some of their original programming spike should be paying people to see. Fox represents a step up for TNA, brings them on a level playing field with WWE as far as network affiliation. |
