For some reference, the Hardys contracts with TNA expire around the end of February 2016.

The audience was barely half of the "Days of our Lives" show that did 211,000 viewers.
While the lack of publicity and fact it wasn't a new episode means the number really can't be taken as a strong sign of where they will end up, it is a number that points to where the TNA base audience is at this point. Between the change of network and change of day, and TNA, with the exception of the move from late Saturday to Thursday prime time, has always taken a hit when changing days, it took take some time before TNA gets to where it will probably be.
However, the idea that they will get back to Spike levels, which Pop TV execs spoke of, doesn't seem likely.

On one hand it was a "Best Of" show while on the other hand, TNA's core has been shrinking by a lot during the past year. Also the Days of Out Lives show was the lead-in to Impact for some reference.

Supposedly ROH went really low with their initial offer to ReDRagon which is why they refused to sign a new deal. Rumors of TNA and WWE being interested ended up being debunked for the moment.

We have gotten reports from people who did not see the channel guide, and we are told that there are two POP TV channels, one with the channel guide and one without. You can check to see if you have both on your cable system. Some people do, but most seem to have either one or the other.
