I thought it had moved to Virgin1? Can't seem to find it in tonights line-up?

Have they moved it back to Bravo or something?

Do I need to go stab Richard Branson for ruining my evening?

.....if it isn't his fault can I stab him anyway?

That's better for me, I tend to be out most Fridays and in most Saturdays.

Which means I need to find something to watch tonight....

I thought the Virgin1 thing was only temporary? I dunno 'cause I don't watch but I'm sure I read that somewhere

If you're right, you're taking the fall for this one. I've realised stabbing a mutli-millionaire would present difficulties like security and stuff. It's nothing personal.

Oh for fucks sake.

Not listed either tonight or tomorrow.

That was the only good thing in this bollocks weekend :mad:

It's almost enough to make me break my diet and head to Miss Millies :(

Fuck that shit. I'm going to pick on someone who can't defend themselves as I'm a bastard.

That's a lie, I'm going to sit here and scratch myself because it's cold out :(

Also, when are they going to invest in new porn rather than continually showing the same episodes of Sexcetra from the mid ninties?

Its pretty stupid of them to stop showing it just as the monday night war thing started!

Given the way the channel was launched and the current line up, I would say clever decisions aren't the producers strong point.

Is anyone going to the TNA Maximum Impact tour at the end of this month? My girlfriend got me and her tickets for the Wembley show - no idea what to expect.

To keep this on topic - yes, you may stab Richard.

You'll get to see an Ultimate X Match then when you go.

I was watching SmackDown tonight and during the last break, an advert for TNA's Maximum Impact Tour came on and told me that.

Anyway, I've noticed recently that Sky have been playing alot of TNA adverts. Like the one tonight and whenever there is a WWE PPV on Sky Box Office, the last or second last advert before the PPV is always a TNA advert.

TNA must be paying Sky alot of money to show them. That's the only reason I can think of as to why Sky would advertise WWE's competition. :-\

Decent.

Can't see how TNA's gonna fill out Wembley Arena though?

TNA does, or did a pretty good rating over here for a period in time. When it was on Bravo I think. Outdrew WWE on several occasions, since Sky Sports is an aditional subscription package to the basic package, which includes Bravo. They drew around 10,000 at Wembley last time. Didn't do quite so fantastic further afield, but the fact is WWE sells out in London pretty fast, so people seek an alternative.

You might also notice that those TNA commercials on Sky, are often very basically showing just the names and faces and a few move shots of the wrestlers, nothing of the product, just very strictly selling the live show. I don't think TNA have enough money to make Murdoch promote the rivals of a product he supports, and thats why they aren't really.

Oh, and TNA's contract with Virgin Media is up.

Hulkster clearly been too busy getting all his over-the-hill or talentless friend back on TV to think about International Distibution to a market it is actually quite competative in. Brother!

As I understood it, the deal with Virgin1 was to "test the waters". How that went and what will come of it, I don't know.

I thought they showed it on Virgin 1 as a way to get people hooked on it, to then pay for Bravo subscription. The experiment lasted a few weeks and at first, it was outdrawing RAW over here as it was on a free network
