You know, Mike Tenay was on the BTR show this week and was saying how it would be dumb for Spike to put the UFC stuff on Saturdays. And I completely agree with him. He brought up the UFC demo is the 18-34 Males and that Saturday night is usually a night where that demographic is out doing stuff. Who would want to sit home and watch UFC from 8-10 or whatever the time? I don't see it doing great numbers on a Sat night at all, especially since it's probably going to be and is Spikes #1 show.

well if they go with SPike sure they could be viewed by more people but that is a bad time. I mean 10 til midnight?
at least on Monday despite the competitiion(heavy competition) they would have a better timeslot, just a worse channel to be viewed on. I would probably go with the Monday Slot. |

I'm in New Jersey and just got WGN recently (on Comcast). It's mostly shitty sitcoms and shittier movies.
I'd go with the Monday Night time slot, if only because of the chance of a second Monday Night War. Although the Saturday one would probably be smarter to get their feet wet on a network that has been the flagship wrestling station for the past four years or so. I'm wondering, could TNA actually come to Spike while WWE is still there? Is Spike's contract with WWE a WWE-exclusive deal? How does that work? |

No, they can't do that. There is talk of TNA shutting down for a while because I think here deal with whomever they have now is running out soon. And since they can't go to Spike until the Fall, they may need to go on hiatus.

haha Pine Barrens is pretty terrible place. BUT YES I KNOW THE JERSEY DEVIL STORY. Only faggots don't know about it. My English teacher in 8th grade proved that he is real.

Indeed.
Anyway, at the chance of this turning into casual, yeah, TNA on WGN wouldn't reach many homes but would probably be the better station. Thinking about WGN, they have a news program at 9, which would conflict with the TNA show. I guess they could move it up one hour, though... |

I'd be kind of surprised if you don't get WGN. As mentioned earlier, they're kind of the Chicago version of what TBS is for Atlanta; WGN carries reruns of shows like "Will and Grace," syndicated shows like "Andromeda," quite a few action movies, plus Bulls, White Sox and Cubs games and Chicago news. The over-the-air programming that WGN carries in Chicago is somewhat different from what cable/satellite subscribers get; in Chicago WGN is the WB network affiliate, but the rest of the country never sees the WB on WGN.
In terms of cable coverage I think WGN is carried on pretty much all of the same cable and satellite systems that Spike is. However, Dish Network has Spike in their 60-channel and up packages, whereas WGN starts in the 120-channel package. Tough call on which network to go with. Spike would have its advantages. For example, once the WWE moves back to USA, it would certainly be nice for TNA to be able to capture the viewers looking for wrestling on Spike. However, TNA has some momentum going and there's the issue of that layover. Even though it's got good coverage, I don't know really what WGN has going for it in terms of ratings so TNA could become the thing to put it on the Nielsen map with the 18-34 males. On occasion it might get bumped for a Bulls/Sox/Cubs game, but still at least there wouldn't be the layover there would probably be waiting to get on Spike. All in all, it's hard to say which would be better, but the WGN offer would certainly seem pretty tempting. Last edited by freerock1.com; 05-17-2005 at 11:42 PM. |

I could be wrong about coverage. Most of my travels have lead me through the Midwest and in the South, and I don't know of a cable system in those parts of the country that doesn't carry it. But it could be a different story in the Northeast and out West.

I could be wrong too.
Fortunately, LC's poll will give us an idea of what's what on TPWW at least. |

I'm hearing that WGN is locking down some good programming right now to build themselves up. I heard two shows they are trying to lock down are Sex and the City and a huge show in 24. This would definately help them out
