Tony Khan Confirms Current Status of AEW TV Deal
Tony Khan has confirmed that the AEW media rights renewal deal with WarnerBros Discovery has not officially been signed just yet.
The company’s TV deals have been a major topic of discussion among fans. There have been many reports saying that both parties have been having positive talks for a while but nothing solid has come out of it yet.
The AEW President was once again asked about it during the post-All Out media scrum and he said that the company is discussing a very detailed package with their broadcast partners:
“We’re still in very very close and exciting negotiations with Warner Brothers Discovery. It’s been going on throughout the summer that we’ve been having these conversations. It’s a very detailed package that we’re having discussions about,”
Tony Khan then talked about how AEW’s relationship with WBD has grown over the years and how they have gone from having 2 hours of programming to 5 hours of programming on the network. Though he also confirmed that a pen has not been put to paper yet:
“I said that ‘I think it’s safe to say, I believe AEW is here to stay on TNT and TBS.’ I think that’s true for a very long time and I believe it. I have not put pen to paper. I’m still working on things.
It’s an exciting time, without getting too specific, but while giving everybody that anticipation of things to come. There’s really exciting things to come in AEW,”
The AEW official was later asked about the chances of an AEW TV deal being announced in the next month in percentage and Khan responded with 90%.
