I don't get why Spike takes its hottest program (UFC) and its potentially 2nd hottest program and sticks them both on Saturday Nights. Sat Nights TV demographic audience is not your 18-25 year olds and that's the highest market segment for both shows. Maybe this is just to test the waters for TNA to see how they will do, but it really makes no sense to me to put both of these shows on Sat when the rest of your programming on weekdays sucks.

I think they're going to put TNA on Sat Nights for a few months up to a year or even two. Then as TNA's audience grows (if they dont pull stupid stunts like how they have been doing in the past months), they'll prob give the 2 hour Monday Night slot.

And Spike TV/TNN's dumb programming move suprises you...why? We are talking about a station who tried to turn Roller Jam and that damned basketball with trampolines into legit sports. Chris even the XFL wasn't that bad. Why don't they just give some C level hockey plays a blow tourch?

I'm just going to copy what I said in the other thread.

Quote:
Are they paying for the time-slot as rumored earlier?

Because if they are, this isn't exactly good news for the company. To summarize...no gate, essentially paid commercial time on Spike's late night block, minimal revenue from sponsors, minimal exposure.....and basically expecting to survive off of PPVs. Wow.

This could end up like ECW on TNN..where the show was actually bleeding them dry.

That said, they did get a new distribution deal for their DVDs...instead of website-only sales. If handled right, that could help.

Although it is rather early to being speculating, it is interesting to note that 24 hours after Spike TV sent out press releases to TNA and various other wrestling websites, the network has yet to issue an announcement of TNA coming this October through normal media channels. This situation mirrors what took place when ECW signed a TV deal with the network back in 1999 when it was known as TNN. Paul Heyman made it clear numerous times (and even more on The Rise & Fall of ECW DVD) that he would be upset about the network only airing promotional videos for the show during the timeslot that it would air and not any other days of the week. TNN's reason at the time to ECW for doing that was that timeslot was "where the demographic was at." Of course, the network has changed quite a bit since the TNN days as the main focus is that of a "network for men." Either way, some are already concerned about TNA's future at this point if Spike has no intention of pushing the product in some way given that this may or may not be TNA's "last stand" so to speak in the upcoming year.

To further lk's point, Spike has also been airing promos for its UFC show talking up the fact that its "not fake" and basically taking shots at the WWE and wrestling in general.

So how does that make TNA look?

"Tune in to UFC because it's REALLL!!! COMIN' UP NEXT...pro wrestling."

Actually, Saturday Night's Main Event still holds some ratings records for that timeslot. Wrestling fans will tune in. They just need some marquee matches with good build-up, not a bunch of jobbers running around on a b-grade show.

that was semi-annual. it was NOT a weekly show. plus at the time they had main event matches not on ppv which was unheard of in those days. all other wrestling had names vs jobbers. so, naturally it provided a hell of a lot of ratings

To be fair, and I know wrestling fans hate to hear this, but shows like CSI get similar ratings and are far more profitable for the network because they attract much bigger sponsors.

Thanks. Thats the point I was trying to make. If you build the show around name wrestlers and have big matches, there will be an audience. Or to put it this way: it wouldn't of mattered when Velocity was on. With the quality of shows they generally produced, no one was tuning in.

If they do make the move, TNA better sign some big names to help get people over, people beating Sonjay Dutt and Shark Boy til the cows come home don't help anyone.
