TNA Wrestling officials informed a number of wrestlers this past Monday in Orlando that the company would be moving to a weekly, two-hour, edition of iMPACT! starting this October.

There is no word on whether they will remain on SpikeTV or move to FOX. TNA has had several meetings with FOX over the last couple months. However, SpikeTV has shown its interest in continuing with Impact as they moved UFCs The Ultimate Fighter series to Wednesday nights to make room for this two-hour program.

We'll have more on this as it develops.
