Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter and David Sahadi are all in New York City today currently meeting with Spike TV executives in regards to the production, promotion and marketing of TNA Impact! on the network when it debuts on Spike this October. Here is hoping a deal gets struck up where some ads for TNA can be run during RAW and other WWE programming on Spike.

On a related note, October 1st has already been rumored as the official date when TNA Impact! will debut on Spike TV in the "Slammin' Saturday Night" block. The working plan was to tape the first two episodes on September 27 that would run on October 1st and 8th. TNA has two other Impact! tapings scheduled for October 11th and 25th in the weeks that follow.

According to reports, former WWE production staff member Kevin Sullivan has taken a position with TNA to head up the company's production team. Sullivan is expected to start with TNA on August 29 and will relocate to Nashville. He worked with David Sahadi in the WWF/WWE during the Attitude era in the late 90's.
