[TNA] Update on Thursday Timeslot

Archive

WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that Jeff Jarrett told the TNA wrestlers at a meeting before today’s tapings that Spike TV is changing the Thursday night slot from 9pm to 11pm ET.

Starting on Thursday, April 13, TNA iMPACT! will air at 11pm, following the Ken Shamrock/Tito Ortiz Ultimate Fighter season. The Ultimate Fighter has performed well for Spike, which has decided to move it to 10pm (it was originally to air at 11) so it can factor into the prime time ratings, according to Dave Meltzer.

On April 6, a live UFC special will air on Spike at 8pm followed by The Ultimate Fighter’s season premiere at 10pm. Then beginning on April 13, the Thursday night line-up will be:

8pm – CSI
9pm – UFC Unleashed
10pm – The Ultimate Fighter
11pm – TNA iMPACT!
