TNA 2026 Broadcast Plans: Carlos Silva on AMC Wrestling & Future TV Deals

TNA Wrestling‘s Live Future on AMC: A strategic Rollout

TNA Wrestling is poised for a significant shift​ as Thursday ⁤Night iMPACT moves ⁣to AMC on⁤ January⁢ 15, 2026. Fans are understandably eager to know if this move signals a full transition to live ‍broadcasts every week. Recent comments from TNA President Carlos Silva shed light⁤ on the company’s plans,​ revealing a measured and strategic approach.

Silva, a veteran of the live⁤ sports industry, emphasized his preference for live programming. He⁤ acknowledged an increase‌ in live broadcasts for TNA this year⁢ and anticipates further expansion ‌in the coming months. However, a complete‍ 52-week live ⁣schedule isn’t the immediate goal.

Instead, Silva ​outlined a phased rollout. The initial 3-6⁤ months will see a noticeable increase ⁢in​ live content.This period will be crucial for establishing a strong working relationship with AMC and refining​ operational logistics.

Here’s a breakdown of the key considerations driving this‌ approach:

* Operational Efficiency: Going ​fully live requires meticulous planning ‍and execution.
* ​ Financial ⁢Stability: ‍Live broadcasts come with increased production costs.
* Logistical ⁢Challenges: Weekly live events present significant logistical hurdles.

Silva⁤ stressed the ‌importance of a “smart” approach during the first ⁣half⁢ of ‌2026. The company wants‌ to avoid overextending ​itself and perhaps ⁢compromising the quality of the show. More live programming is definitely planned, but it will be implemented carefully.

The weekly timeslot remains consistent – Thursdays from 9-11 PM ET. However, not every episode will be​ broadcast‌ live. TNA intends to utilize a ‌hybrid model, combining⁢ live⁢ shows with efficient tapings.

Consider this production strategy:

1. A live Thursday night iMPACT broadcast.
2. follow-up tapings on​ Friday or Saturday at‌ the same venue.
3. These tapings‌ will provide ‌content for future weeks.

This approach ⁢allows TNA to maximize its resources and ⁣maintain a consistent flow ​of fresh content. It’s a practical solution ⁤that balances⁢ the desire for ‌live programming with the realities of television production.

Ultimately,⁤ TNA is⁤ setting​ the stage for a transformative year. With a major‍ network partnership, a commitment to ​expanding live content, and a ‌well-defined strategy for growth, the future looks luminous for the promotion ​and its ‍dedicated fanbase. You⁣ can‌ expect a dynamic and evolving product in 2026, designed to deliver an even more⁢ engaging experience.
