Big Backstage Update on Dixie Carter Traveling to Los Angeles Today and Possible New TV Homes for TNA and Impact Wrestling

By Nick Paglino

dixie carterAs noted, TNA President Dixie Carter flew to Los Angeles today, which has lead to speculation that she will be negotiating possible new TV deals for TNA.

According to PWInsider.com, as of now POP TV, the former TV Guide Channel, and WGN America seem to be the leading candidates for Impact Wrestling’s future TV home.

If TNA lands on either of the above networks, it would put Impact Wrestling in more homes than Destination America. TNA and WGN actually had talks before TNA signed with DA, but the deal did not go through because WGN wanted TNA to stay off the air until Spring 2015.

POP TV currently airs Paragon Pro Wrestling from Las Vegas early on the weekends, and backstage talk is that TNA might be paying for their own time slot on POP TV, and then make money by selling advertising.

The POP TV headquarters and United Talent Agency offices are both located in Los Angeles, and UTA is still representing TNA in their TV negotiations.
