Tony Khan comments on AEW media rights.
AEW's media rights with WBD expire in 2024, and the promotion is currently in an exclusive negotiating window with Warner Bros Discovery. AEW has five hours of first run programming on WBD platforms with AEW Dynamite airing on TBS and AEW Rampage and AEW Collision airing on TNT.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Khan commented on AEW's media rights.
“It’s a really exciting time for AEW,” said Khan. “We’re in active negotiations for the AEW media rights. Warner Bros. Discovery continues to be the best possible partner, and they’ve helped us grow this brand. It’s going to be a very exciting remainder to this year, and we’ll find out where AEW is going to live.
“For everyone who cares about AEW all over the world, we’re in a great position. This is going to work out really well for AEW. We’re having great talks, and people should feel very confident about what that means for the wrestlers, the staff, and the fans. As a result of everyone’s hard work and endless support from the fans, there will be a tremendous deal for AEW. The outlook for the company is so bright moving forward.”
AEW has been on WBD networks since October 2019 when AEW Dynamite premiered on TNT.
AEW is celebrating its five-year anniversary with AEW Double or Nothing 2024. Fans can check out the lineup for the show by clicking here.
