TNA has secured a two hour time slot with Spike TV, but the network has given the promotion a condition - the wrestling company must purchase HD equipment, as Spike TV will be upgrading to HD broadcasting by 2009. TNA is apparently putting up resistance to the condition as the current contract is set to expire at the end of September. Spike TV has previously provided funding to TNA, such as contributing money to bring Sting to TNA, but the cable network hasn’t been open to providing addition financing for the purchase of HD equipment for the promotion.

Everyone is going HD. The FCC has ruled that all networks most go HD by 2009.

Well, the good thing is they are getting 2 hours. And even though they need to get the HD equipment, they still have 2 years to do it so, we shouldn't worry about that just yet.

I wonder how this will work? I have a 50' plasma I bought and I don't have an HD box because I don't need 1 I get about 15 HD channels already (like 5.1, 4.1, 7.1, 5.2, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 11.1, 13.1, 16.1, 104.37) and a bunch of other channels. I wonder if Spike will be one of the inbetween channel (like 57.1 or something)
But congrats they finally get 2 hours. Now let's see what they can do with it.

What does that mean for those of us without HD TVs? If you have a TV with an HD tuner or HD box you can watch it. If not it will still be on standard cable. Like here channel 5 is NBC channel 5.1 is NBC HD |
