TNA announced today via their website that they will be moving Impact Wrestling from the 9:00pm-11:00pm (ET/PT) time-slot to the 8:00pm-10:00pm time-slot on Spike TV. The change will take place on May 31.

The report on their site states that the move "is predicated on the fact that there are more available viewers in the 8:00-10:00pm timeslot with less sports competition in the 8pm hour."

Pruett's Pause: This could be a really great move for TNA. They are constantly losing viewers in their current time-slot and they need something. Bumping the show up one hour gives them a chance to hook viewers in prior to different sporting events beginning (especially with a Thursday night game on NFL network all season long this year)>

It could also be a sign that TNA is getting some pressure from the network due to the falling ratings. With a new deal with Spike in place for the next two years, this could be a sign that TNA is experimenting with the formula.
