Regarding Destination America’s decision to allegedly not renew TNA programming on their network, the decision was officially cemented two weeks ago with a company-wide memo that was sent out to all Destination America employees.
Destination America sent out a memo to employees that notified them that the cable network had made their decision not to renew TNA, and to use the rumored “out-clause” to get out of their contract with the wrestling promotion in the last week of September.
Below is part of the memo that was sent out to Destination America employees two weeks ago.
“Destination America is not renewing TNA Wrestling next year. While the ratings were strong, the audience was not large enough to justify the program investment. We plan to honor the current contract and continue to air original episodes of TNA Wrestling on Friday nights through the end of the third quarter 2015. When the up-front rate card is released, the Friday night anthology title will now be called ‘American Tales,’ which will be a combination of Paranormal and Americana programming. I hope this is good news given all of the advertisers that included TNA on their DNA list.”/
