TNA officially announced that the Impact Wrestling television show will remain live on Spike TV through the end of 2012. "The move to broadcasting LIVE has been a ratings boon and has provided a significant rise in the show's social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, etc.," reads the press release. You can read the official statement at Impactwrestling.com/news/item/3787-TNA-IMPACT-WRESTLING-To-Remain-LIVE-On-Thursday-Nights-Through-2012.

Powell's POV: A ratings boon? I'm happy the show is staying live but I must be missing something with their weekly ratings. There was no mention in the press release of the show being taped some weeks due to holidays as the Universal Studios website indicates, as noted earlier this week. Thanks to Dot Net Member Jeremy "JMos26" Moses for passing along the story.
