PWInsider is reporting that TNA President Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett were back again in Los Angeles last week (believed to be either Wednesday or Thursday) for yet another round of meetings with FOX Network executives.

As noted in earlier reports today, the feeling internally within TNA right now is that they are going forward with plans to have a two hour edition of Impact either on Spike TV or a FOX Network entity starting this fall. With Spike moving UFC programming (season six of The Ultimate Fighter) to Wednesday, it is assumed they are doing so to make way for a two hour edition of Impact.

Based on what is known at this point, TNA and FOX have had discussions about a possible multi-tier deal where TNA-branded shows would air on multiple networks. Another report has stated that the FOX dicussions may have also included discussions of a possible live weekly broadcast as well, something TNA has yet to do since gaining TV deals with Fox Sports Net and Spike TV. It should also be noted that both Carter and Jarrett have remained very "tight lipped" about the meetings with FOX executives, with some staff not even being made aware they are traveling to Los Angeles for the meetings.
