For the last few weeks, the TNA world has been buzzing around a possible new media rights deal for the company that’s expected to be revealed in 60-90 days, according to TNA President Carlos Silva.
This has left many fans to wonder what kind of linear/broadcasting networks or streaming services Silva is talking to – but now we seem to have an answer on who the main potential network is currently.
We may now have an answer.
Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that A&E are considered the frontrunner for any deal.
“If it’s A&E, look at what WWE is doing on A&E, they’re at like 100,000 viewers, which is what TNA is doing on AXS. And A&E is the frontrunner that you hear about for if they’re going to get a deal, and I don’t know if the deal is done,” Meltzer said.

Recently, an interview surfaced with Carlos Silva and John Wallstreet where some of the same topics were discussed, however, no specific network was named.
The next day, TNA President Carlos Silva was on the Ariel Helwani show talking more in-depth about media rights and also revealed the subscriber count for the TNA + app. Silva reiterated a 60-90 day expectation for a new media rights deal.
