Discovery Communications announced today that it has signed a
multi-year deal with TNA (Total Nonstop Action) IMPACT WRESTLING to
bring the popular league to homes nationwide on Destination America, the

the United States. Destination America officially enters the ring with
its first world premiere of IMPACT WRESTLING in January 2015. The series features some of the biggest names in professional wrestling, including Jeff Hardy, Bobby Roode, Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley and Gail Kim.
The partnership includes the U.S. premieres of additional TNA WRESTLING
series and specials and provides Discovery Communications with
international broadcasting rights in select regions, to be announced at a
