As noted earlier in the week in the PWInsider.com Elite section, there's been a lot of talk internally within SpikeTV about expanding their relationship with TNA. While TNA has always been liked by Spike executives (because after being burned by WWE, there was less of an ego dealing with TNA Management), there was something of an asterisk on TNA because it had mostly followed UFC programming. When TNA lost very little of their audience last week without a UFC lead-in, it created a big boost for TNA within Spike. The fact that UFC's replacement comedies in the old UFC lead-in slot and the new Blade series (based on the Marvel Comics character) have not fared well, also assisted TNA in looking good to executives. There has been increased discussion of late about different ideas for expanding the TNA-Spike relationship, specifically how TNA is used on the network.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, an extra hour would improve iMPACT! drastically. Just imagine TNA having the time to have fifteen minute X Division matches, or twenty minute tag title matches. An extra hour would give them the time to add a mid-card title as well, which would be fantastic. I really hope this happens soon.
