TNA TV Negotiations Update

The following is taken directly from Mike Johnson and PwInsider.com

Earlier today on my PWInsider.com Elite Hotline, I noted there were some interesting stories making the rounds regarding TNA's negotiations with SpikeTV.
I can confirm that there's talk of expanding the Impact timeslot as well as doing additional programming on a weekly basis. I would assume that would mean
something along the lines of a UFC Unleashed utilizing the TNA library or perhaps even a TNA talk show similar to the UFC show hosted by Joe Rogan, but
nothing is confirmed. SpikeTV is absolutely interested in doing more with TNA as its been the only show they've introduced since Ultimate Fighter debuted
that has delivered consistently for the network.

I can also confirm that there is interest in TNA from at least two other broadcast carriers, one of which is the syndicated MyNetworkTV, which carries the
International Fight League and has been trying to find its own identity and niche since launching this past September. The other, which I haven't 100%
confirmed yet, is said to be a major cable network that has never aired professional wrestling before.

Once again, all credit for this information should go to Mike Johnson and PwInsider.com

It seems only appropriate that My Network TV would want both IFL and TNA.
