WWE's return to USA tonight, Tivo, and TNA Impact! rating on Spike TV
On Monday, October 3, 2005 at 1:05 PM EST As if you haven't been made aware, WWE returns to the USA Network tonight for the re-debut of sorts of Monday Night RAW in what the company has dubbed the "Homecoming" in the last few weeks. Just a reminder that the show starts at 7:55pm Eastern/6:55pm Central. As noted earlier, the "RAW Exposed" program will air following RAW and after that, the replay of TNA Impact! on Spike TV airs at Midnight ET/11pm CT. So, wrestling fans have the chance to view up to 5 hours of wrestling programming tonight.
For those who use Tivo, with RAW changing networks to USA tonight, you will have to go in and reprogram so the show records correctly tonight and for future events. With the name changing to "Monday Night RAW" as apposed to just "WWE RAW", your Tivo will not pick up the change so it must be done manually. Also, it is smart to set the record a good 5-10 minutes in advance and leave an extra 15 minutes on the end with the overrun.
The Montgomery Adviser has an article regarding tonight's "Monday Night War" between Spike TV and the USA Network with WWE vs. UFC. To check that out, click here. For those wondering, the rating for the debut edition of TNA Impact! on Saturday should be available later today or tomorrow at the latest. We do know that there has been talk of pushing TNA to an earlier Monday timeslot depending on how well the show on Saturday draws and how the Monday night replay draws as well.
