It is an upgrade as far as reach is concerned, although POP TV is in closer to 75 million homes right now as compared to 57 million for Destination America. Finances were not disclosed which is the key when it comes to TNA, because there is little revenue coming in with the exception of selling the television show, since they almost never do live events that tickets are sold to, and PPV numbers are weak.

2nd time in a row that TNA took the lesser deal/station for bidding although they also supposedly have a huge sum of money coming soon from the India tour and deal.
Think the reason they went with DA over WGN was due to DA promising to purchase more shows and hours of content with their offer.
