On the tna uk facebook it says that challenge has the ppvs and xplosen Surely if sky where going to drop tna at some point they would not bother with this programming. And surely with there been extra programming it must be a new deal?? Quote:
As noted earlier here on the website, TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter announced Tuesday that all TNA programming in the U.K. will air on Sky TV channel Challenge beginning next month. Source - tnawrestlingnews
Challenge TV will broadcast iMPACT! each week, as well as Xplosion and monthly pay-per-view events. TNA's television situation in the U.K. had been limbo since January 1 when its former home, Bravo, was shut down. Challenge TV generally airs game show programs, but is available to Sky, Virgin, and Freeview systems. By getting on Freeview, TNA programming will eventually be available to every television in the United Kingdom (once the UK Digital Switchover is completed in 2012). At yesterday's live event in Dublin, Ireland, Carter informed the live audience that TNA signed a new television distribution agreement in the U.K. |

A couple of my posts from way back in September Quote:
Failing that Challenge TV could be an option, if Sky is looking to expand the channel beyond repeats of gameshows

I still think iMPACT is going to end up on a revamped Challenge TV
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...e#post44340624Stick with me kids, I know my stuff. ![]() Seriously though, I think it's a great move for TNA. Getting everything on Freeview is fantastic. Shame it looks like we have to wait longer for Impact but I can live with that. |

“TNA iMPACT” will air on the Tuesday night following US transmission at 10pm, with PPV events showing on the Wednesday after US broadcast. Challenge TV will also show catch-up episodes of “TNA iMPACT!” for those who missed them during TNA’s brief period off air. Full dates and details will be announced shortly.
source tnawrestling.comGood deal with the PPVs, but not so much with the near week delay with Impact. But I suppose it is on free telly so one shouldn't complain. |

Ric never left, they just left him behind. He is still in Dublin and was never advertised for Germany anyway.

Even though I haven't watched TNA regularly for a long long time, this makes me happy. It means I can watch TNA on my Freeview tv in my room!

Brilliant. Now we can also decide to not watch oiled up men in pants and tights, taking part in homo-erotic fake 'fights' instead of not watching repeated game shows from 20 years ago.

It's not like he didn't pull that stunt before, sadly. The guy is becoming a joke and it shouldn't be like that considering he's the best ever.
Dixie Carter is on Jeff Randall Live tonight on Sky News at 7pm. I doubt she'll be discussing the profitability of TNA or how much money Panda uses to prop it up but it should be interesting |

The world and his wife knows that Flair has no interest in being an active wrestler, he's only there because he pissed all his money away

Although Dixie would counter that by saying they can employ such talent. Basically everything she has said before, it'll be interesting though looking at TNA from a business point of view. |

Haha, most likely.
Most of it will probably be promo for the Challenge launch and no doubt, her views on sexism in the industry (she's probably the only person not been asked yet) Then Jeff will ask about profits and she'll go all quiet |

Sky's programme information website (http://www.skyprogrammeinformation.co.uk/amendments.asp) has printed the latest amendment update to Challenge, which shows that iMPACT! gets its Challenge debut a week on Saturday, with several episodes over the coming days, leading up to the first showing of the new episode of impact on Tuesday (I think!) .. and when Xplosion will also be shown .. And Genesis is shown on Wednesday.
(Not quite sure what time of the day 26:00 is although guessing it's 2am!) Challenge Saturday 05/02/2011 24:00 Insert: TNA iMPACT! - 3 26:00 Insert: TNA Xpolsion - 2 Sunday 06/02/2011 24:00 Insert: TNA iMPACT! - 4 26:00 Insert: TNA Xpolsion - 3 Monday 07/02/2011 24:00 Insert: TNA iMPACT! - 5 26:00 Insert: TNA Xpolsion - 4 Tuesday 08/02/2011 22:00 Insert: TNA iMPACT! - 6 24:00 Insert: TNA Xpolsion - 5 Wednesday 09/02/2011 22:00 Insert: TNA - Genesis - PPV 1 |

Edit, I'm being rather dense. It's been taken out of the Variety line up as per an email from Sky but its in limbo as to whether its going to be free or not. A lot of channels that are on Freeview are hidden behind a Sky paywall on the actual Sky service |

Rajah are reporting that Ric Flair has kissed and made up with TNA and is back on the European tour.
Apparantly issues have been building up a long time between the two. Must have forced a paycut on him like Hogan and Bischoff |
