TNA President Says New Media Rights Deal Could Be 60 to 90 Days Away

TNA President Carlos Silva says that the company could have its new media rights deal in three months. Silva appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show for a new interview and during the conversation eh spoke about the company’s current quest for a new media rights deal. You can see highlights below, per Fightful:

On the company’s media rights negotiations: “Along with our partners at AXS, Len [Asper], Andy Schuon, who runs AXS TV, we want to find a bigger platform. We have CAA helping us. We’re actively in the middle…if I can get a few things done, I’d love to tell you about the deals. We’re close. We’ve been working on it since the beginning of the year, really since I joined. It really has accelerated over the last 60 days. We’re working through it.”

On when an announcement could happen: “I think we could be in a 60 to 90 day window to get something done. As you know, the media landscape is changing every single day and literally, week-to-week, things are changing. We just saw some other networks that are going to get sold again this week that are changing hands. You never know. It’s never done until the Is are dotted and Ts are crossed. We’re working hard at it.”

On the potential of TNA going live each week: “We’ve been asked by many partners that they’d like it to be live 52 weeks a year so we’re talking through how we would do that. Maybe it wouldn’t go live in January, straight away, 52 weeks, but we would certainly lean into that to try and make it happen.”

On if the show would remain on Thursdays: “Could be up for grabs. You’d have to look at the crowded (landscape). You don’t want to go [says “collision” but unclear if referencing head-to-head with another show or AEW Collision] and you don’t want to start playing that game. Thursday has worked out well so far.”
