UPDATE: This was in the TNA announcement, but it was buried at the bottom of the press release. If you want to know whether your cable provider carries iMPACT’s new home of Destination America is available in your home, go here.
ORIGINAL: Spike TV issued the following statement regarding TNA’s departure from the network. According to the end date revealed in the statement, it appears that the previously rumored “best of” episodes of iMPACT! will air on December 3rd, 10th, 17th and finally on the 24th.
Our partnership with TNA Wrestling will officially come to an end with our last telecast on December 24.
Dixie Carter and her team have been incredible partners to work with over the past 9 years, delivering high-action entertainment and strong ratings.
As Spike continues to evolve into a network reaching a broader audience, we continue to look across our schedule to find opportunities to add original scripted and non-scripted programming that appeals to a wider demographic.
On behalf of everyone at Spike, we would like to wish Dixie and TNA all the best and continued success.
Kevin Kay President, Spike TV
