As previously reported, Spike’s TV’s Upcoming Listings list an 8pm (EST) start time for the next live airing of TNA iMPACT! (April 5), an hour earlier than normal. This will give the show an unopposed hour and then hour two would go head-to-head with the first hour of WWE RAW.
The schedule lists the following two weeks starting at the usual 9PM start time.
TNA President Dixie Carter posted a message on Twitter regarding the time shift of the April 5th iMPACT!:
“To maximize viewership, iMPACT! will air on Spike from 8-10pm ET on 4/5 as to not conflict w/NCAA Men’s bball finals on CBS. PLS RT”.
You know TNA and Spike will be watching very closely to see how the show performs an hour earlier with a full unopposed hour.
Dixie Carter later wrote:
“Had a great trip to NY with Hogan. Big Spike dinner. Lots of exciting things going on.”
