Beginning May 25th, Rogers Cable in Canada will be removing Spike TV from their standard tier of programming and moving it to the Classic TV tier. Rogers wants an additional $6.05 per month for the channel.

Now I'll have to watch a shitty stream. TNA will lose a lot of viewers in Canada because of this.

Sorry to hear it Canadians.

So does this mean TNA will start to get even less viewership numbers going forward (from May 25th on)? Fuck.

Fucking Rogers. Are they fucking Blue? SpikeTV is literally one of the channels I watch occasionally next to The Score, A&E and MuchMusic. Fack Off!

Sorry about that Canadians. I personally think TNA should grow, not going back and make it a US only show, I think it should be a world wide show

I know but TNA can think about changing the channel or making an alliance with other channels to emit in other countries

I doubt it's as simple as that, they'll need to negotiate a way out of this contract then into another also it's not like the channel is being pulled or anything it's just become part of a more expensive package. You can't blame TNA for this it's like blaming WCW for Time Warner deciding to fuck them off.

I'm not trying to blame TNA because it's not their fault but my opinion is that TNA should grow and because of men like this it's not possible, avarice isn't good

You think this is going to stop their expansion plans?

TNA stars have recently commented on Rogers Cable in Canada moving iMPACT! to a more expensive subscription tier. Here are some of their tweets…

Bobby Roode: Rogers cable in Canada is moving @SpikeTV to a more expensive cable tier! WTF!?? Canadians needs Impact Wrestling. #itfactor #keepspiketv

Gail Kim: Just heard that Rogers Cable is planning to move Spike TV&TNA Impact Wrestling to a more expensive cable tier. What about our Canadian fans?

Kurt Angle: Just heard that Rogers Cable is planning to move Spike TV and TNA Impact Wrestling to a more expensive cable tier. This is crazy…

Chavo Guerrero: Just heard that Rogers Cable is taking Spike TV and TNA Impact Wrestling from most of their customers. This is not cool…

Tara: Just heard that Rogers Cable is taking Spike TV and TNA Impact Wrestling from most of their customers. This is not cool…

James Storm: I heard that Rogers Cable is taking Spike TV & TNA Impact Wrestling from most of their customers. Are you kidding me? Canada deserves better

NanoRah14 TNA will have like 0 control over this. After all, it is the whole channel they're moving. It'd be different if they were moving TNA from one channel to another, then TNA could have something to say. This isn't going to slow TNA down with their 'expansions' at all, in fact it could work in there favour if local news picks it up.
