NWA signs TV deal with The CW

[Comrade Khan]

not gonna complain about more wrestling on tv either way

 

[Chris]

I would be curious, it's funny to think Smackdown possibly drew similar numbers on The CW, UPN and MyNetwork TV back in the day to what they're doing nowadays on Fox. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher

Higher I would think

 

[Chris]

so it's not really quite an apples to apples comparison is fair to say? obv still results that are positive

Not even close yeah

 

[Barry Poppins]

Wait did I really end up calling it?

 

[Barry Poppins]

Ah nevermind I didn't.

CW is huge though since it's the 5th largest terrestrial channel.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Regardless of what people thought of the NWA when Tyrus was Champion, I think anything that uplifts more professional wrestling is huge.

Hopefully they can take advantage of this and be something.

I give it a month

CW is a middle of the pact channel. Not as big as Fox or TNT but as far as I know, it’s still a pretty heavily viewed channel that’s available in damn near every household. So that’s good news for the NWA. Whenever they do start airing episodes, I’ll probably check out the first few episodes and see if I’m feeling.

That is, depending on the time slot

 

[Butters]

NWA is officially part of the Arrowverse

Yeah, CW is a pretty big get. It's the 5th largest terrestrial channel behind FOX, CBS, ABC, and NBC. Not necessarily the most viewed but as far as availability goes, it's a top tier channel.

Of course NWA isn't a major wrestling name, and depending on the timeslot and day, I really don't see it getting any thing larger than like 500k viewers.

Which for NWA standards would be huge.

I’d honestly call it a win if NWA can even net 250K average viewers. For both NWA and the health of wrestling as whole. That’s just another viable alternative.

 

[Hoss]

Let's not sleep on the fact that old people are the most likely demographic to stick to watching local channels, so that could play in NWA's favor possibly.

Is The CW not the young and sexy channel anymore or have NWA taken a new approach to their target demo?

They can try to be all they want but no one young and sexy has regular TV anymore
