TNA's January 30th, 2014 event at the Hydro in Glasgow will be "broadcast live" into the United States, according to STV in Scotland. Dixie Carter was in STV's Glasgow studios to make the announcement.

"It’s historical for a number of reasons. One, it’s the first time that we’ve ever broadcast live out of the United States - outside the country and it’s the first time in this big beautiful building that you see behind me that we’re really excited for.

"But also Challenge TV will be broadcasting the show live from Scotland and that will be the first time they’ve not been delayed for several days. It will be the first time that everyone in the UK will get to see Impact wrestling live.

"The people in Scotland are just lovely, they’re the nicest people in the world but they’re also rowdy which we love. It’s a great combination for us, so they’re very, very gracious to us when we’re here."
Cool that it's going to be broadcast live for us over here (even though I don't watch live) but surely it's going to be broadcast over in the states at a pretty weird time.

To sum up a lot of firsts!

Anyway I think the next step should be for them to present a ppv over here.

Yep, tickets booked. It's about time TNA capitalized on their ratings success in the UK.

Will be interesting to see how it's broadcasted stateside though.

I might watch it when it airs here but most likely just gonna download like usual. It should be a really fun and lively show.

Smart move since they are so strong in the UK market. May as well reward those loyal fans with perks like a live show, always a great audience in the UK as the fans get right into it.
