TORONTO – Fight Network and TNA Entertainment have struck a comprehensive content partnership in an effort to “seize a global digital audience for fight-based content”.
Fight Network’s over-the-top app will become the global home for TNA Wrestling content starting in the second quarter of this year. Fight Network and TNA Wrestling will also collaborate to produce digital content plus partner on cross-promotion and joint sales efforts in global markets, as well as in the U.S. and Canada.
In addition, Fight Network will also begin airing TNA Wrestling archive programming on its linear channels in select U.S. markets and in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East where Fight Network currently broadcasts.
“As a TNA Wrestling broadcast partner, we see the quality of the content, the viewer reaction and the potential to bring great programming to the world,” said Leonard Asper, CEO of Fight Network parent Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp, in the news release. “Our global OTT service now available on several platforms will be immeasurably strengthened by this partnership and we see this as just the first step in building global fight themed destination channel together.”
