Spike TV’s highly-rated two-hour weekly series, TNA’s “IMPACT Wrestling†is moving to a new timeslot. On Thursday, May 31, IMPACT Wrestling will air at 8:00pm ET/PT, moving from its previous timeslot of 9:00pm ET/PT. The shift to 8:00pm is predicated on the fact that there are more available viewers in the 8:00-10:00pm timeslot with less sports competition in the 8pm hour. TNA’s flagship series, “IMPACT Wrestling,†airs weekly on Spike TV and is one of the network’s top-rated series. The show is must-see-tv with young men and currently ranks among the top series on cable on Thursdays with Men 18-34. The TNA roster features many of the top names in wrestling including Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Bobby Roode, Sting, James Storm, Rob Van Dam, and the lovely and lethal Knockouts. |

8-10 is more feasible which is what it is already here in the Midwest. Fuck this East Coast shit.

That makes it start at 7 for me, don't like that. Oh well, thanks to DVR, I'll just watch it at 8 like normal and skip the commercials, actually works better.

I love how they admit that they made the move because there is less competition for them at this hour, as a company you shouldn't really be admitting things like that. I hope that TNA haven't made a knee jerk decision just based on the last three week's ratings which have been below 1.0. Yes they have had very bad ratings recently but I would argue that it is more to do with the writing than the timeslot. Hopefully it was based on some detailed research into the fanbase to show that they would prefer the earlier start. Be interesting to see how this will impact the ratings.
