According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and F4Wonline.com, cable television network Destination America can cancel IMPACT WRESTLING in September if they so choose to do so. In a recent response to a fan in the F4Wonline.com forums, Meltzer claims that Destination America has an out of their two-year contract with TNA Wrestling in September of 2015.

Lots of rumors have surrounded TNAs relationship with Destination America as of late. Due to their inconsistent and low viewership numbers for IMPACT WRESTLING, it was recently reported that the cable network regrets signing the TV deal with TNA for IMPACT.

The network is trying to bring the number of viewers up, however. In hopes of the product seeing more eyes during the week, Destination America is moving IMPACT WRESTLING from Friday nights, to Wednesdays. TNA President Dixie Carter has even reportedly told talent not to even pay attention to viewership numbers, as she doesnt want the moral of the locker room to drop any more than it already has.

TNA Wrestling has had bad press as of late on top of the issue with Destination America. Employees of the company have complained about paychecks being extremely late. The company also canceled a live tour in China, which caused talent to get upset at the TNA office.

But with that being said, if this is actually true, TNA is screwed.

It's too bad it's NOT too good. I haven't been watching Impact for a great amount of time now.
By the way none of those comments were directed towards the TNA talent because TNA has great talent on their roster it's just the storylines. They are not like what they used to be.

DA really overestimated how well they could do with Impact, they acted that it was a huge deal when they should have realised they needed to build it back up with them. I don't really care if they cancel but I hope the talent can get work somewhere if they don't want to stay.

Sounds like the story of WWE's life too.

Meltzer works for WWE. The guy gets paid by Vince to put out a lot of false shit. Especially on TNA.

TNA is exactly bad though really. Besides the wrestling itself, nothing really reels you in.
