TNA reuniting with Spike TV for the UK market and rumored to be leaving POP TV in the near future
Signed a deal with Spike TV UK to show Impact for the UK market starting this Spring.

Also seems to have recently signed Alberto Del Rio/Patron as part of the new batch of wrestlers showing up at the on-going tapings. Quote:

Better for TNA than the previous deal with Challenge. Challenge really just showed repeats of old gameshows so was never much of a fit. It was also fairly hidden on the channel list for Freeview and Sky which would hurt casual viewers.
Spike will more likely fit their target audience and should be a good fit. Still would have been better for them to get on Channel 5 proper or one of the ITV channels. Massive potential audience there and always thought it would be a good fit if they don't recreate World of Sport properly. |

Supposedly Jeff Jarrett and a high level rep from Spike TV held a meeting recently in regards to the idea of Impact returning to the channel within the near future.

They were close to merging back in 2016. I think they are both controlled by the same company, National Amusements.
