Dot Net TNA News: More notes on what the TNA crew was told about the move back to Thursday nights and how Spike TV intends to brand the night

The TNA crew was told today that the company made the call to move the show back to Thursday nights. They were specifically told that it was not a Spike TV decision, but rather because market research done by the company determined that their fans wanted the show on Thursday nights.
With the addition of the "TNA Reaction" show to Thursday nights, Spike TV intends to rebrand the night as "TNA Thursdays." Although TNA officials handled the bulk of the meeting, there was a Spike TV official on hand to verify the info that TNA management was telling the wrestlers.
Powell's POV: I reported this information earlier today during the Torch Livecast radio show before it was reported anywhere else. The wrestlers were told that TNA as well as Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey's production team conducted the bulk of the market research and were told that fans overwhelmingly wanted Thursday to be established as the TNA wrestling night. It seems like a convenient excuse given that the ratings showed that TNA was being crushed by WWE on Monday nights. If it is an excuse, I guess you can't blame TNA and Spike TV for the spin if their concern was keeping locker room morale steady.
