Here are some notes of interest for this weekend, and next weeks programming:

is estimated to be starting in late January 2005 (we are currently awaiting material) – more info on AWE is available here.

You can now catch Archived Supercard Shows on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday nights @ 2am! Click here for an overview of our weekly schedule!

The TNA Final Resolution Mega-Event is due to air on The Wrestling Channel on Sunday 22nd January @ 8pm.

Apologies for technical difficulties last Sunday night:

The Wrestling Channel would like to sincerely apologise for the technical difficulties which occurred during last Sunday’s broadcast of the TNA Turning Point Mega Event, and the 2am Tuesday night repeat which followed.
For those of you who did not catch this event in it’s entirety, it will air again this Saturday night @ 2am.

Cause:
On January 1st 2006, The Wrestling channel moved play-out centres (the company who “plays” out our material), and we are currently working out small compatibility issues between both parties: our scheduling system & their playout automation systems: the compatibility issues are being resolved next week with new software updates.

For those of you who are interested in specifics, here is a technical report of the actual fault(s) which occurred:
The technical difficulties which The Wrestling Channel faced on Sunday 08.01.06 and Monday 09.01.06 were in relation to an automation registration issue. The schedule due to air failed to update during its import into the automation system, the issue only affected select new media causing the interruptions to the TX which you experienced.

On another related note – TWC will be broadcasting in an 8MB MPEG-2 format from Monday January 16th @ 9pm, as opposed to the previous DV AVI files which our old play-out centre supported. We expect no issues with the format change, as MPEG-2 files are better supported by our new Play-out centre in London, hence the changeover.
