The error was 100% on the Pursuit Network's end as Impact aired the correct episode tonight on their Twitch.TV channel.
This latest error is the latest in a series of headaches for Impact since moving to The Pursuit Network. Despite Anthem owning a stake in the Channel, Impact has found the network to be slow to respond to questions and to complaints, according to several sources.
Several weeks ago, an Impact broadcast on Pursuit went to commercial before the main event and never returned airing 35 minutes of commercials instead. The network also took several weeks to list Impact on its programming and for many cable providers, has listed the show as a 30 minute series with three replays, meaning that anyone who DVR'd the series would get only the first 30 minutes of an episode unless they realized the issue and worked around it.
Impact used Pursuit as a stop-gap measure, moving their series there when it needed to leave The Pop Network, a move that also allowed the company to retain their digital rights to the series. Since that time, the company has been working on trying to land a better TV deal. While there has been hope and excitement about a potential deal among those in the company, there's been no confirmation that anything is close to being signed.
In the meantime, Impact continues to deal with embarrassing situations like tonight and a Network partner that fails to truly assist or promote them in any way, shape or form.
Impact tweeted that due to Pursuit airing the wrong episode of television last night they had made this week's episode already available on Impact Plus for viewers to watch free of charge.
