Sounds like Challenge, recycled game shows airing with TNA being their only original show.

True, true. At least Destination America's redneck shows kinda fit in with this Redneck Revolution led by Storm... :adr:

In all seriousness, I'd say that this could mean more TNA shows on their channel, just like how Challenge really wanted British Bootcamp.

Velocity is a bigger channel.

DA is only available in 52% of the united states if I got the numbers right as well.

So this is a step down for TNA, but they have a TV home.

This smells of Dixie thinking TNA was worth more than it is and holding out for two long. They could have been on Velocity, ION or another network but probably didn't want what they were offering money wise

Mmm, I think that number is true - massive step down from Spike. But could mean they're valued "more" at Destination America.

I'd have taken ION, judging by their TV count (think it's pretty near Spike's) or heck, even Velocity a month ago.

So technically TNA is out of buildness in Canada. Gohan is still right. :pipebomb:

Well....."Destination America" Certainly wouldn't be TNAs primary choice of "destination" I'm sure. But it's better than nothing I suppose, one can only imagine how TNA will adjust to the decreased funds.

Gotta admit this network is actually pretty good for TNA now that I think about it. People who watch "Ghost Asylum", "Ghost Stalkers", "Hillbilly Blood" "Deep Fries Masters", "Buying RVs" and such probably would enjoy a product like TFA 'rasslin. Good choice tbh. GO DIXIE :obama:

TNA's now on the front page of their website. This show needs to be their top one.

Then again, it would be hard for it not to be with their hillbilly shit.

Weren't those UTA guys meant to get TNA the best possible TV deal? Or did Dixie just fuck it all up and end up with a pretty shit deal.

Either TNA got ripped off by UTA or UTA pulled off a great move; do little for TNA when Dixie tries to do it all, get paid.
