So... has anyone heard of the Pursuit channel? That's where they're going, whatever that is.

Checked it out on Wikipedia, it's an outdoor channel apparently based in my home state of Alabama. It is affiliated with the Fight Network. Sounds like Impact's old Destination America deal, only worse. Spectrum doesn't even offer the channel so I'll be out for a while.
Not too surprising considering the poor viewership and recent time change. Hopefully they are receiving revenue through other means...

I seriously have never, ever heard of that channel until today. The channels Impact keeps moving to are more and more obscure. Im going to have to check to see if my provider has it, but I doubt it.

This is the LAST STRAW. They cannot go onto a worse network than this.
It is absolutely baffling how this company is still about:
1). Sign a new one year TV deal. 2). Get put on a worse time slot in the said year. 3). Ratings drop. 4). Speculation over channel dropping the programme. 5). Channel announces they are dropping the programme. 6). New channel picks them up for another one year deal.
They cannot afford to play this game anymore times.
JUST PLEASE LET THIS COMPANY DIE. IT IS TOO SAD NOW.
- NO GOOD LIVE EVENTS - PISS POOR TV NUMBERS - NO MERCH SALES
Please WWE, take this company out of its misery.

EGADS! I would have to pay $30/month more for the plan that has the Pursuit Channel on it. Looks like Im done with this company.

I just don't understand how this company keeps going.

The site for the channel does not mention Impact coming to their network, but they do have a Pursuit Channel On Demand area, so perhaps it will be available on there when it starts airing.

Looks like Pursuit is distancing themselves from Impact already... It does seem odd that they are not mentioning it on their site when it is starting on January 11. Unfortunately the 10:00 pm start time remains the same, but moving to Friday nights will probably cut the viewership more according to the article. It is available on DirecTV, Dish, AT & T and Verison FIOS and I am on none of those and do not see it on my channel guide. Hopefully it will be on their On Demand portion of the site. Right now their site is all hunting, fishing and other outdoor sports. Anthem has a "strong minority ownership" in Pursuit and it is considered a sister network of the Fight channel.

Hopefully WWE or ROH (or possible AEW) scoop up the few legit talents here.

Dear god,
No mention on Pursuit's website, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram about TNA.
HOW CAN YOU BE ON SUCH A CRAP NETWORK THAT DOESN'T CARE?
AND BOTH THE COMPANY AND CHANNEL ARE OWNED BY ANTHEM
WWE, PLEASE buy this company.

Talent working for TNA these days is just making them look bad WWE is already overloaded with talent, at this point. Talent is being brought up to the main roster too soon now because NXT is over saturated. If WWE does some spring cleaning to make more room, then I’d be all for it.

as a longtime fan, it’s been a brutal road. I really feel that Cyrus and Scott D’Amore have managed to straighten the course in terms of creative direction, but it’s all too little too late it would appear. shame.
been a rough year for Cyrus - losing his njpw commentating position, storm quitting the podcast, and now impact wrestling losing it’s footing they’d been working for. at least he got his njpw position back.

I think where they went wrong was failing to expand, they should have moved out of Universal Studios in 2006, not 2013. They also should have come to the UK twice, and much sooner than they did, international TV and PPV.
Their business model used to work when WWE wouldn't welcome in people under a certain weight and ex-WCW guys. Now it has all changed, expansion is far more difficult now their niche exists on a much larger scale.

I don't know that WWE buying Impact would be a good idea. They really need to do some spring cleaning now. Plus there's some really decent content on their WWE TNA Impact Global Wrestling Network. I'm sure we wouldn't get all of it if Vince bought them out.
Maybe the Elite could pick through the bins for their upcoming company? I would suggest ROH but I'm not sure it would be worth their time. Maybe the extra comment for their god awful app would help though?

don callis is calling for an edgier product with them being on a hunting based network. it does make sense for them to be on this network considering anthem owns them both.
