Ring of truth

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/19/2000 7:00:00 PM

Consistently pulling national syndicated ratings below a 1 (according to Nielsen Media Research), rookie weekly Thunderbox, a WWF-ish spin on boxing, is arguably on the ropes. Now it looks like it could get some cable muscle in its corner. There is talk that the re-branded TNN (The Nashville Network turned into The National Network) is in talks to acquire the show. Sending Thunderbox to the cable network makes sense considering it has a ready companion program in that network's newly acquired WWF franchise. A TNN representative declined to comment.
