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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

 

 

 

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.
