Major TNA News: TNA Impact time slot officially changed, weekly replay added

Powell's POV: Good move by TNA and Spike TV. I've said from the start that Impact would be better off starting earlier and taking advantage of the unopposed hour. The Thursday replay is also a change of strategy, as company officials previously felt it would be a mistake to give viewers an option of skipping the Monday show.
