Anthem CEO Teases New Distribution Deal For Impact Wrestling

CEO of Anthem Sports and Entertainment (Impact’s parent company), Len Asper, recently noted online that a new distribution deal for Impact Wrestling is coming soon. Impact currently airs on AXS TV, which is also owned by Anthem Sports and Entertainment. In many regions outside the United States, Impact airs on the Fight Network, another Anthem-owned company.

“Hey y’all I am here. Was busy trying to keep up with Impact Wrestling launching so many new channel streams and products! Getting pumped things thank you for watching in insanely increasing numbers! Big new distribution deal coming soon!”

Recently, Impact launched a new subscription service on YouTube. Subscribers to Impact Wrestling Insiders can watch Impact’s weekly program commercial-free on YouTube beginning at 830 PM on Thursday evenings. The level-one tier subscription costs only 99 cents per month. The show no longer airs on Twitch.

With names like Christian Cage, Kenny Omega, and Jay White appearing on the show in recent weeks, Asper sounds thrilled with the show’s “increasing numbers” across the various platforms it airs on.

Why Asper decided to make this announcement in response to a Tweet about the Steve Maclin vs Petey Williams match at Emergence is unclear. Maclin won the match on the show, however.

The Good Brothers vs Willie Mack & Rich Swann is being advertised for this week’s show.
