This is an update on the TNA television situation. On Wednesday, sources at Destination America believed they had a deal with TNA and those in the TNA office believed an announcement was being made on Thursday. It is possible they will wait until after the TV show on Wednesday to make the announcement so they don't come across as lame duck on Spike, which was nice enough to keep them on the air past the contract expiration to allow them to not disappear off the radar before a deal is made.

In terms of numbers and stuff, Impact might lose around 50% of its average viewer base with the move since DA is in way less homes than Spike and unlikely DA will spend anywhere near the amount Spike did for promotions.
Also Spike rejected the idea of TNA showing "specials" or "best of" episodes after this week's final taped episode. Once the final taped episode airs this week, Spike TV will be completely done helping TNA.
