TNA to broadcast "live" from outside the U.S.

While on a European promotional tour this week, TNA president Dixie Carter announced that TNA will broadcast television "live" from outside the U.S. in January 2014.

The date is Thursday, January 30, 2014 and the location is The Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, where Carter made the announcement on Thursday.

If the word "live" is to be taken literally, then the event would occur after midnight locally in Glasgow in order to air "live" at 8:00 p.m. EST on Spike TV in the U.S. The event will also air "live" on Challenge TV in the U.K., according to Carter.

"It’s historical for a number of reasons," Carter told local media. "One, it’s the first time that we’ve ever broadcast live out of the United States - outside the country and it’s the first time in this big beautiful building (The Hydro) that you see behind me that we’re really excited for.

"But also Challenge TV will be broadcasting the show live from Scotland and that will be the first time they’ve not been delayed for several days. It will be the first time that everyone in the U.K. will get to see Impact wrestling live."
