Possible Breaking News: NWA-TNA losing their FOX Sports television deal?
Submitted by Mr. Tito on Wednesday, May 25, 2005 at 12:50 PM EST
Based on the television listings, NWA-TNA Impact appears to be airing their last episode this Friday on FOX Sports Network. Next Friday, however, FOX is airing the "World Series of Darts" and there appears to be NO TNA programming on FOX Sports's schedule for the months of June or July.
To back this up, TNA only taped 2 shows during their May 17th taping, possibly knowing of pending doom. For weeks, rumors have been swirling about their television future. Unless this is merely a scheduling error on FOX Sports's part, expect some sort of announcement to be made by NWA-TNA in the upcoming days.
Without a TV deal, TNA would likely continue on with their Pay Per View monthly shows while remaining in talks with other cable networks. Just recently, they had talks with both Spike TV (who is soon to lose the WWE) and WGN. TNA just recently signed several of its stars, Styles and Daniels, to long term deals. Therefore, there appears to be no end in sight for TNA, despite this possible television setback.
In addition to FOX Sports's scheduling, NWA-TNA is STILL listed as holding tapings at Universal Studios through July.
As I suggested before, this could very well be a scheduling error or merely a pre-emption for one week, in addition to being a coincidence that TNA only taped for 2 shows. DO NOT take this as face value of TNA losing their television deal until they or FOX Sports officially announces it!!!!!
