TNA (TNAverse)

*not to be confused with TNA Wrestling, which is now known as Impact! Wrestling* 
The Television Network of America (known as TNA) is an American terrestrial television network launched in 1979. Owned by TNA Industries Inc, the network serves all fifty states. 
== History ==
=== Beginnings ===
In the early 1970s, the Jarrett family bought a local radio station, WCCN. WCCN served the northwestern part of Illinois. The Jarrett Family was famous from their real estate company. WCCN was a pop hits station. It was (and still is) a fan favorite station. With this success, the Jarretts decided to start their own television channel.
In 1975, they launched their first television station, WNFS. Based out of Naperville, it was originally launched as an independent station, but in 1979, they officially converted to TNA. In 1981, they launched a station in Chicago, WTNA, and in 1984, their first station in the west was made, KTNA in Los Angeles. 
=== Success ===
By 1986, TNA was considered one of the Big Five television networks. They launched their first cable television network, TNA2. In 1989, they launched Lifestyle. They made a major revamp in the early 90s, launching TNA History, TNA Laugh!, TNA Movies, TNA Jukebox, TNA Kids, TNA News Network, and TNA Sports. They also launched TNC (Canada) and TNUK (United Kingdom). 
=== Decline ===
With their big revamp, the Jarrett Family and TNA lose a lot of money. In 1995, TNA Industries Inc was sold to Michael Brock, a wealthy business man. Brock canceled the famous animated series Van Gogh High, and significantly cut the costs of many shows. He instead made new shows, with lower quality. The worst of these is Monkey Man, a show about a guy who can turn into a monkey. It only got through one month, from September 1996 to October 1996. Because of this decline, many affiliates dropped TNA for other channels like ABC, NBC, or FOX. The only good thing from the Brock era was their sports programming, as Michael Brock was a big sports fan, he pushed to get lots of sports and spent a lot of money for higher quality broadcasts. On December 31st, 1999, Brock stated at a press conference that "big changes were on the way." They debuted with a new logo the next morning, with most of the shows returning from before the Brock era. The next day, Brock announced that he was leaving TNA for a new job at CBS. He would be selling TNA back to the Jarrett Family. 
=== Return to Glory ===
The TNA Return to Glory Celebration hosted by Ryan Seacrest broadcasted on January 4th, 2000. It included musical guests, interviews, and games. The Return to Glory Celebration would become a yearly tradition. However, in the 2002 edition, a random fan from the crowd was chosen to play a game and they won $16,925,145. They was a loophole in the game where it didn't end until you lost three questions. 
In 2004, while broadcasting the 2004 United States Presidential Election, the news reporter who was covering the event suffered a heart attack. While he was being rushed to the hospital, they played an episode of Van Gogh High. Another news reporter filled the first one's spot. The reporter was okay.
All TNA affiliates transitioned to digital in 2009.

When TNA Wrestling became Impact! Wrestling, they let the TNA channel use their logo.
