I'm sure they will find a network but I don't think it will be near the amount they get from Spike plus they have to pay commission to those negotiating the deal for them too.
I certainly think TNA and Spike are done. It's said its cost less for Spike to air old episodes of Cops which also gets higher advertising revenue.
Spike apparently pay $3.12m on Impact a year and the two networks in question have lower reach and viewership so I think personally TNA will struggle to get the $60,000 an episode they currently get, never mind the $100,000 they apparently want.
It will be a shame if they don't get a network but at the same time I wonder if the brand is tainted beyond repair anyway. Can TNA actually build upon what they have or are they destined to close down. I certainly hope they don't but things don't seem bright sadly.
