Warner Bros. Discovery Working On AEW ‘Outside The Ring’ Content
Warner Bros. Discovery continues to be happy with the performance of AEW ratings wise.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kathleen Finch, Warner Bros. Discovery US Networks Group chair and chief content officer, discussed how TNT and TBS can maintain a male audience from night to night, referencing AEW in the process.
“We really play in the sports space. One of the things that we’re doing around sports is creating shoulder programming to hold onto those fans. AEW [All Elite Wrestling] pulls huge numbers, so we are working with the wrestling team to figure out what new kind of content can we build that’s not in a wrestling ring,”
Kathleen Finch to Hollywood Reporter
AEW Dynamite airs Wednesdays on TBS while AEW Rampage airs Fridays on TNT. Time will tell what will be next for AEW in the realm of TV programming outside the ring. AEW have previously had “out of the ring” content with Rhodes to The Top amongst other projects.
