Matt D Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 On the plus side, they have key cross-promotional potential for Destination X. On the minus side, everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Definitely a step backwards for TNA. None of this solves TNA biggest problem which is lack of promotion/visibility. I get the feeling all this is Papa Carter scaling back things so Dixie doesn't blow too much money on TNA, but keeping her away from Panda Energy where she can do some real damage.

ingrsco Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Destination America is owned by Discovery Communications. Maybe TNA can hope that they do well enough to land on TLC? Or maybe Investigation Discovery can air a show where they explore how the hell TNA is still in business. You, sir, deserve a like! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgi86 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Here's how things stand in terms of what percentage of U.S. TV households can watch what: USA Network (RAW) - 86.38% Spike TV (TNA until now) - 85.50% Syfy (SmackDown) - 85.33% E! (Total Divas) - 84.48% Fox Sports 1 (UFC) - 75.13% UniMas (Lucha Underground) - 57.8% Destination America (TNA in 2015) - 52.20% ROH - 38.1% El Rey (Lucha Underground) - 35%? All the numbers except the final two are for August 2013. The ROH number is from October 2014, but includes future expansion that has not yet come into effect. The El Rey number was their target number that they announced earlier this year, but I don't know if they've reached it. So yeah, quite the drop-off indeed. Though it should be pointed out that Destination America is technically available to more than 52%, but since it's a high-tier channel you'd have to pay extra to watch it.

rzombie1988 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I love wrestling but TNA not finding a new TV channel was honestly the best thing for wrestling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Also, like in my case, Spike is on my tier of cable right now. Destination America is on a separate tier of channels I'd have to pay extra for, which of course I have no intention of doing. So even that 85-52 figure may be misleading. Technically, I CAN get Destination America, but I don't wanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I actually get DA - I like a couple of their shows like BBQ Pitmasters (paging Naimark) and Food Factory. But this is a big step back for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hopefully with the change to Destination America Mickie James will resign since their target audience would love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm mad that I still can't get ROH or Lucha Underground - more the latter - but I can still watch TNA. Which I won't. I have FiOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 On a more important level, why wouldn't they take this opportunity to rebrand? Surely nobody - and the Veeg means, nobody - thinks the name TNA Wrestling has any positive brand equity at this point, why not do a whole new thing? Go straight up Impact Wrestling, Wrestle American Revolution (because WAR is a great acronym), fucking whatever. Seems like a missed opportunity. The 1.1 million people that watch every single week won't care, and the few people who used to watch it associate it mostly with people that are no longer there. Your AJ Styles's and Jeff Jarretts. It has no positive brand. Start over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
