In return, Josh Mathews said they wanted to reach 15,000 paid subscribers by March 1st, 2019. Subscribers are paid supporters of a Twitch channel and there are three price tiers for subscribers to choose from: $4.99\/month, $9.99\/month, and $24.99\/month. You can also link an Amazon Prime account and subscribe for free. With all that being said, you can watch Impact completely free on Twitch (you just won\u2019t get a subscriber badge and ad-free viewing).<\/p>\n<p>I applaud Impact management for recognizing that moving to Pursuit was a downgrade (whether they admit it or not) and something else needed to be done. Twitch is a popular site with millions of viewers a day, and Impact already runs monthly Twitch specials on their channel.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Impact wants 15,000 paid-subscribers by March 1st, 2019. When I was watching Impact this week, the highest viewership number was 11,000. So, as you can tell, the original paid subscriber goal is clearly not possible at this time. My guess is Impact has under 5,000 subscribers on Twitch right now, and reaching close to 10,000 subscribers would be quite the accomplishment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>NOW CHECK OUT OTHER\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEWS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>OR JUMP TO LAST WEEK\u2019S IMPACT OVERVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/01\/06\/weekly-overview-impact-wrestling-thru-1-5-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 IMPACT WRESTLING (thru 1\/5): Homecoming Preview!
