Impact Wrestling is leaving Pop TV, as they will be moving their programming to the Pursuit Channel.
According to a press release by the company, the move will take place in January of 2019:
IMPACT Wrestling, a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., announced today it has entered into an agreement to broadcast its flagship weekly two-hour program IMPACT! nationally across the U.S. on Pursuit Channel, the most widely distributed outdoor network and one of the fastest growing channels in the country. Beginning on Friday, Jan. 11, featuring the aftermath of Homecoming, IMPACT Wrestling’s first marquee pay-per-view event of the year, IMPACT! will air weekly on Pursuit Channel on Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET.
According to a source via ProWrestlingSheet.com, this new TV deal is better for the company financially and Impact officials are very happy about the move.
Although the Pursuit Channel is primarily a hunting and outdoors channel, Anthem Sports owns a large stake in the channel, which is why Impact will be moving from Pop TV.
