AMC Emerges As Possible Landing Spot For TNA TV Deal

Another potential destination for TNA IMPACT as part of a new TV deal in the United States has been revealed.

TNA President Carlos Silva has been actively looking to secure a new home for TNA IMPACT for much of 2025, with the Anthem-owned pro wrestling promotion looking to ink a deal worth between $7 million and $10 million per year. The belief is WWE have some degree of influence in TNA's talks over a new US TV deal, with two networks with existing WWE partnerships in A&E and The CW previously considered the frontrunners to secure TNA's US media rights. Reports have also noted TNA would be open to moving IMPACT to Wednesday nights in order to go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite.

The expectation is TNA will announce a new US media rights deal by the end of 2025, The Takedown on SI has reported. Another possible landing spot for IMPACT has emerged too, with AMC said to be pursuing TNA's media rights.

AMC is part of AMC Networks, which also includes BBC America, IFC, Sundance TV, and We TV. The company is majority owned by the Dolan family, and James Dolan is also the CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports and Madison Square Garden Entertainment, overseeing MSG's operations, as well as the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.

Past critically acclaimed shows to air on AMC include Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead. The channel's schedule today primarily consists of airing movies.

AMC would provide a boost in visibility for TNA IMPACT over the show's current US TV partner of AXS TV. As of 2023, AMC was in over 60 million homes, double the reach of AXS TV, according to Wrestlenomics.
