FrostOutside Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 TNA is like a diet John Cena. They always manage to kick out at two, but have none of his money making abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Dixie Carter must have some serious verbal(or oral) skills behind the scenes if they keep getting TV deals. So how many years have the "TNA will be dead by next year" comments been going? Maybe they'll die at the end of 2016?...maybe the beginning of 17. I think this channel is in more homes than Destination America was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Headline should read "TNA moving to network as obscure as they are". Seriously...what the hell is pop tv? Were thrilled to be in business with Pop and to bring IMPACT WRESTLING to more than 80 million homes Lol...apparently I do get this channel. Which makes this all even funnier to me. TNA moving to a channel that I legit didn't even know I had. Good luck with that, guys. Also, the channel is standard def only (at least for me).

TNFNS Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Headline should read "TNA moving to network as obscure as they are". Seriously...what the hell is pop tv? Pop is a joint venture of CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) and Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF). The partnership combines CBSs programming, production and marketing assets with Lionsgates resources in motion pictures, television and digitally delivered content. Pops ownership structure is comprised of the company with the #1 broadcast network and many of the top first-run syndication series (Entertainment Tonight, The Insider) and the studio that produces and distributes the blockbuster Hunger Games, Twilight and Divergent franchises and produces such award-winning TV series as Mad Men and Orange is the New Black.

Generations Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, I found it. Looks like a pretty ass channel to me. Only standard def, and the type of shows they play remind me of the worst parts of the 90's. I think Dawson's Creek is on right now. Lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNFNS Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 One thing I must say is that they're really risking it now, like they have their balls out. Seems like they're basically paying for the TV slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Lmao...the fact that it's standard def makes TNA seem even more desperate, IMO. That, and the fact that it's basically a whole channel just for reruns of old 90's shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undercard Jamoke Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Every time TNA moves to a new network I have to google the networks name because it is so obscure and I have never heard of it before in my life. I am so surprised that this company is still alive... like.... HOW?!..... WHY?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Walnuts Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 TNA is going to lose a pretty big chunk of they're NYC market. The channels carried by Time Warner, which is predominantly carried in Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Bronx, Queens & Long Island is predominantly Cablevision/Optimum. And nobody is switching cable providers simply for TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's not just Time Warner...I have Comcast and I have it. I don't know if that changes anything...but I feel like the NYC region probably has access to Comcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that changes anything...but I feel like the NYC region probably has access to Comcast. Cable providers typically used in NY is Time Warner, Optimum, & DishTV...And Verizon. Comcast isn't nor has it ever been among the top cable providers for NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGreymon77 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Wait a minute... I think I actually have this channel. The former TVGN. Plays mostly soap operas, as far as I know. Anyway, YES! Pop > Destination America. I can watch TNA again! But TNA sucks now, so... ehh. If there's nothing else on, sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
