Speaking to JohnWallStreet.com, TNA President Carlos Silva
said that the company is seeking a new media rights partner
which would enable them to go live 52 weeks a year.
Silva added that the recent strategic partnership with WWE’s
NXT has resulted in a “huge audience lift” for the company,
thanks to being featured on NXT on CW, NXT premium live
events, and social media support from WWE.
“A new media rights deal will help us build a more
consistent fan base with larger reach,” Silva continued. “It
will also provide us the opportunity to go live 52 weeks a
year, and in today’s world, live matters”
Currently, TNA airs on AXS TV which is owned by Anthem
Sports & Entertainment, the same parent company of TNA.
Silva said that they’re looking for around $10 million a
year in rights fees and they’re confident that a new TV
outlet will be selected within the next 60 days.
