I think TNA will end up with a second hour. They have met every requirement Spike TV has asked of them, and kept them very happy. They were asked to get big names, and they have signed Sting, Christian Cage, Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner and I guess Adam "Pacman" Jones can be included in that list. There's also talk of Sabu being brought back in to the company. Plus their one-hour slot continues to improve in the ratings. Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter have been angling for a second hour for a long time now, so I'm fairly certain we will see it materialise.
Another thing I am interested in, are the meetings Jarrett and Carter established with Fox. When I read that, I couldn't help bu fantasise about a world where TNA had Impact! on Spike TV (2 hours) and another show on Fox (1-2 hours). TNA certainly has the roster to support a venture like this, and they are a growing company with some big names under contract.
A lot of people have initially criticised the signing of Adam Jones, but if this gets media outlets interested in TNA, I think it will be worth it. Apparently some have picked up on the story, and if this doesn't hurt TNA's chances of another hour, or even another weekly TV show, I think it can only help.
