Technical Difficulties put a Impact on "Live" TNA Impact Wrestling on PopTV.

Technical Difficulties put a Impact on "Live" TNA Impact Wrestling on PopTV.

Major technical difficulties caused PopTV to scramble and run ads for almost the duration of the schedule time allowed for a "Live" TNA Impact Wrestling broadcast tonight (technically, it was scheduled to air on a one or two hour tape delay as TNA has been doing to their live special episodes of their flagship TV show Impact Wrestling).

When TNA was schedule to go "live at 9 PM ET", PopTV got a blank screen, follow by blue screen and shorty there after, a loop of PopTV promos for there shows play on loop until the schedule ads aired and they repeated the same ads over and over with brief interruptions at a attempt to join the show, only to go back to the ads.

it continued on for almost 2 whole hours, until 10:50 PM ET when tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling finally started airing on a major delay and with limited interruptions.

TNA fans assumed at first the company failed to pay their production staff as the company has been having major finacial issues that have be documented on wrestling news sites and laughed at by wrestling fans on many pro wrestling forum discussions sites.

But TNA Wrestling revealed it was a big issue at PopTV's End, with PopTV's master control center in Atlanta, GA dealing with a major issue with it.

both TNA and PopTV apologized though their respective Twitter accounts.

yep, PopTV will indeed re-air it tonight to make sure those who tune out last night will see it. i stuck around to watch it in it's entirety with only 2 ads after it came on the air at 9:50 PM CT, and it ended at 11:20 PM CT.
 
I live in Arizona and currently are on Pacific coast time. On Tuesday my DVR saved Impact with the 12ish minute overrun without any problems.
