– We noted over the weekend that the impression was given by TNA sources that the company had been offered a new home on a new network that wasn’t as big as Spike TV. According to Raj Giri, Discovery Network’s VELOCITY channel has offered TNA a timeslot. VELOCITY is only in 48 million homes and is available in HD only.

Giri adds that the biggest issue with this deal would be the rights fee, which is less than a quarter of what TNA is currently getting from Spike TV. The deal may not be worth it if TNA can’t find an additional revenue stream.
TNA officials are relieved that they have another suitor but they are disappointed in the offer that has been made. They also hope that this will lead to other potential partners contacting them soon.
