Tony Khan talks about the current synergy between AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked what the company is working on in terms of synergy with Warner Brothers Discovery, Khan said the greatest step in their partnership took place last month when the company started airing its weekly programming live on MAX.
“I expect AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery will have a strong partnership for many years to come,” Tony Khan said. “We have a great relationship with management there. Since 2019, we’ve been proud AEW has been a part of the Turner Sports family. This is the greatest step in our partnership, the launch of AEW on Max.
“The simulcast has been a huge success for everyone involved. We’ve gotten a great audience Wednesday nights on TBS and Saturday nights on TNT. Now those shows are also streaming live on Max. It has made AEW available to a new audience. We don’t have all the numbers for the Max launch, but we’ve been told that AEW is one of the top sports leagues for Max for viewership. That’s really exciting. It bodes well for the partnership for many years to come.”
AEW content started streaming on MAX on January 1. The entire AEW library will eventually live on the streaming platform as it rolls out in bundles throughout the year. Pay-per-views will also start airing live on MAX at some point this year.
