Are TNA about to get booted from their TV Spot by WWE?
WWE's discussions for their television rights package has as of late included AMC Networks, Viacom, Time Warner and 21st Century Fox. The talks with Viacom, if they pan out, would be for Spike TV which would leave TNA without a TV contract. Viacom has reportedly not yet renewed their deal with TNA, which expires around the time that WWE's contract with NBC/Universal is done.
Time Warner's talks would likely be for TBS and/or TNT, while the 21st Century Fox discussions would put them on FOX Sports 1 in an attempt to grow that channel. It would see WWE and UFC have all their cable content on the same channel.
The new deal should be announced at the end of April or early May.
Not good news if Viacom get the deal for TNA. Be interested to see where they would end up could see a "ECW" like moment when WWF's arrival on TNN put them in such dire straights that Heyman sold up to McMahon.
Do TNA get the numbers to get them a new deal elsewhere? Possible back to Fox but that's about it really otherwise could be heading down the ROH Online Route.

Do TNA still get around 1.1 of the share? If so I'd say a lot of networks might find those numbers appealing for certain times, they might not keep the same spot TV Spot though.

Would WWE be interested in buying out TNA, or would they just cherry-pick the best talent?
