no tna results again!

I'm sorry about this and forgive me if this post goes off in a tangent but let me explain why tna ppvs results always appear on Thursdays on my blog.

I Live in Ireland, in case the Irish name wasn't a giveaway already, and unlike WWE PPVS that are shown Live or the next day at a reasonable time for a whole week, TNA PPVS are shown ONCE at a time that will make the average insomniac go "Jaysus, that's a bit late,innit?"

and its not even on Sky sports!
Of all the complaining i do at home about soccor matches going into penalties, or FUCKING CRICKET on the box for EIGHT FUCKING HOURS, at least raw, smackdown and nxt fits into sky sports demographic.

Tna on the other hand, is shown on challenge. a game show Channel. a channel, much like most on sky, whose broadcasts are made of repeats. In fact, 98% of programming on 125 are programmes up to 30 YEARS after there original syndication! and of that 2 percent, It original content like the fantastic Take It or Leave It, Clip shows and tna aren't even advertised!

So here what i think sky should do.
1. ADVERTISE TNA!
They do all ready but only during Impact! It goes without saying but that is redundant(and yes saying something is redundant by starting the sentence with it goes without saying is redundant itself so don't point that out!

2. SHOW PPVS AT 9.00 OR EARLIER.
Honestly Challenge most of your programmes are repeats. Wouldn't New and exciting content be worthy of a prime time slot?
AND FINALLY AND THIS MOST IMPORTANT
3.MOVE TNA TO SKY SPORTS WITHOUT DISRUPTING THE OTHER PROGRAMS
As its stands we are lucky to have a full 7 day coverage of wrestling.
MON-bottom line. Raw, Live Raw
TUE-Afterburn,Smackdown,Impact
Wed-Vintage collection, Xplosion.
Thursday-Experience,raw,nxt
FRI-Smackdown,bottom line
Sat-Superstars,Afterburn
Sun-vintage,Impact.

If you moved tna and kept it like this you will always give the viewer a different viewing experience and the Diversity of 2 companies vying for control. But the reason I'm doing this column is because  at 1am, waiting for the main event the voiceover said we are on able to show the remainder of the scheduled program.
AT 1 AM WHEN YOU HAVE STAYED UP ALL NIGHT, AND PAID 20 EURO WORTH OF CRISPS AND NUTS AND OTHER TREATS,TO WATCH A PROGRAM ONLY SHOWN ONCE AND ONLY ONCE, BECAUSE IT'S YOUR JOB!....
it's the last thing you want to hear!
