Did Turner promote WCW other than when he was on WCW? I didn't watch but it seems to me from having watched the Rise and Fall of WCW DVD that they had their own marketing department that worked very well.

That i'm not sure on, good point.

Looking at the schedule, FX usually does a movie from 8-10, followed by Archer and Legit. Pretty sure Archer draws and maybe they can get a few viewers off of that.

I'm not sure if TNT wants wrestling (it's supposed to be pure drama, pro wrestling isn't really considered that in the public eye) but they just show re-runs then too. From a business standpoint I'm not sure why you wouldn't want a show that draws a steady million viewers instead of just showing random reruns, but then again Impact is more expensive, but it also comes with built-in advertising with Direct Auto and whatnot

Exactly. What do they have go lose from having a company that draws a steady viewing/has a chance to upgrade viewers based on your users during that time period also. You are bringing in over a million people during any given time, AMC i understand, but the others have nothing to lose as far as i can see.

Hasn't TNA and direct cut ties? I haven't seen them as a sponsor other than for Lockdown for months. It seems like five hour energy has taken their spot.

If people don't know TNA exists, people will just watch american idol or some shit and turn off wrestling altogether.

Spike isn't even available across the country iirc.

This and it isn't even debatable.

Key is to promote the shit out of the product, regardless of the product quality.
