GFW Signs a New Deal With POP TV
August 31, 2017 | Posted by
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, GFW and Pop TV signed a new agreement to continue carrying the Impact in 2018. The good news that this keeps them on TV in the US, but the bad news is that they failed to score a US TV deal that would pay any significant rights fees. The POP TV deal is an ad revenue split which is said to not make much of anything for the company. GFW is reportedly running on a tight budget, with the India and UK deals being their main line of revenue. But those deals aren’t enough to cover the costs of the schedule they wanted to run, which means that they will likely stick with running TV tapings less often, and that they will be marathon tapings like the August ones.
