History
From its inception, TNA's only television programming was a two-hour weekly show shown on pay-per-view. The first one was held on June 19, 2002 in Huntsville, AL. The last of these shows aired on September 8, 2004. TNA began airing their television program TNA Impact! now called Impact Wrestling (which premiered June 4, 2004) as its primary program. After Impact! began, TNA felt that they had a fanbase that would support monthly, live, three-hour pay-per-view events. On November 7, 2004, TNA aired the first of these events, Victory Road. These events were produced monthly since and the event of each month was given a different name. Several changes and switches were made to the event names throughout the years.[1]
The monthly event schedule was changed in January 2013, with all but four events cancelled. In their places, TNA began producing TNA One Night Only, taped television specials also offered on pay-per-view.[2]
In the United States, TNA pay-per-views are offered by In Demand, Dish Network and DirecTV. In Australia, TNA pay-per-views are shown on Main Event and iMPACT on Fox8. In the United Kingdom they were shown on Bravo 2 for free the Wednesday after the event On March 25, 2010, they moved to Extreme Sports Channel, with the first PPV aired on this channel Destination X, the following Friday after the event. When Bravo ceased operating on January 1, 2011, all TNA programming was pulled from air in the UK, including that on Extreme Sports Channel. On January 25, 2011, it was announced that from February 1, 2011, all TNA programming would air on Challenge, with PPVs the Wednesday after the event.[3] They are also available in Canada and Germany.Vorlage:Cn
