More information about TNA Impact here

It will be on tuesday at 10pm

So no Impact on Saturdays..... Now on Tuesdays and at 10pm.

A 5 day tape delay as opposed to the previous 2 day tape delay on Bravo.

And in a later timeslot.

On the plus side, the ppvs will be shown earlier in the week, and Challenge is a more widely available channel, plus don't underestimate the Sky epg rejig next Tuesday when Challenge moves to 120 - the nearer the start of the epg, usually the better for ratings (less channels for casuals to have to pass through to get to Challenge).

All in all, great news.

Plus - for those of us who record WWE Raw to watch on Tuesdays, Tuesday nights will now become the new 'wrestling night' on tv!

I foresee 3-4 hour Raw/Impact watching sessions on Tuesdays in future!

PPV's used to be on Wednesday's on Bravo before the Extreme Sports Channel deal, didn't they?

In effect its worse for TNA fans because the 2 day delay (which was manageable) is now 5 days long.

really would have preferred if it was still on saturdays, but it would clash with the tudors (thank you challenge+1)

tuesday it will clash with shameless (all you CAW fed fans should get onto them and get a frank gallagher CAW ) , once again challenge+1 comes to the rescue

now all that needs to happen is to boot channel4 up the bottom to GET PROGRAMS STARTED ON THE BLEEDING HOUR AND NOT FIVE MINUITES AFTER!!!!!

Yes, but for the past year ppvs were on Fridays on Extreme Sports. So they will be earlier on Challenge.

At least Impact is being shown within the week.

Raw used to be on a 4 day tape delay on Sky Sports for over a decade, so a 5 day delay isn't too bad.

Watch Shameless on E4+1 at 12:05am.

That way it doesn't clash with Impact.

Problem solved.

I suppose when you consider WWE's domination of Sky Sports at the weekend and Monday, Tuesday isn't too bad.

And no doubt in better quality. The picture quality on Extreme Sports for the TNA stuff was awful, lego dimension awful.

Great plan. Used to love Friday nights back in the 90's with the WCW block of programming on TNT.

Suprb news, and PPV's thrown in it might be a few days later but at least its back (or will be).

A big thank you must go to Dixie for the free Impact UK web shows.

You could just search youtube?

Ric Flair has refused to go to Germany because he was refused an advance on his money. Hopefully Dixie gets it sorted so that he still shows up in the UK.

I'm really dissapointed it's not going to a HD channel, now I should preface that by saying I rarely ever watch TNA and if I did, I could easily aquire it elsewhere in high definition but it's still a letdown.

I think Tuesdays will be good. I always felt Saturday nights werent that great as many fans would either be out drinking or watch MOTD instead. This way Impact can be on the Tuesday with the PPV on the next night too. All in all a good deal for TNA.

How are they going to catch up, will they air multiple episodes over a week or will we get all TNA programming on a month's delay?

Great memories, Nitro at 9pm, Thunder at 11:30pm, followed by the repeat of Raw at 1am or 2am.

Maybe challenge will go HD in Feburuary in the revamp, well here's hoping.

It would have been great if we had Impact right after Smackdown on Friday's (albeit on a different channel), with a repeat on Saturday at 9pm.

Sky are planning to devote a block of programming on Challenge to young males so TNA wont really look out of place.

Any news on the exact date of TNA's return to UK TV?

Well they've taken their time but it's definately welcome news. Much better having all the content all in one place. Great that i'll be able to watch even if I'm not near my Sky box too.

I think i'll manage the wait of a few more days for each iMPACT, PPVs will clash with football regularly though if they start at 9.

And very glad they're going to catch up on the missed episodes.

F4W.com is reporting February 1st.

That's the night several new things are starting - Sky Atlantic, rebranded Sky Living, first night of the rejigged Sky EPG, etc.

Lots of channels are being rebranded/renamed/moved to new channel numbers.

Feb 1st is when Challenge is rumoured to be coming to Freeview (as that is when channel1 closes) however i would imagine it will be a few weeks before TNA starts on Challenge.

Yeah, I think February 1st would be a bad night to start.

Too many other things happening that day.
