AEW on TBS.

Will this move have an adverse effect on AEW?

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I don't think it'll have that big an impact. Time slot moves tend to be bigger problems for shows that channel moves, especially when under the same media conglomerate, which lets them actually advertise the move on their programming and on assorted advertising channels. It might shake loose a few people who for one reason or another have TNT but not TBS, but that'll be about it.

TBS is in more homes than TNT. I really don't see how it will hurt them. Plus TNT gets four specials a year so AEW can plan around them.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

No. They’re essentially saying they want to build the network around them while also featuring them on TNT. It’s a win-win.

[fw91]

No. TBS is just as available as TNT.

[kingoftheindies]

Considering the Turner family is All In (pun intended) with AEW and the new deal also gets 4 yearly specials on TNT as well, it should not hurt AEW at all

TBS has been around a lot longer than TNT and is in at least as many homes. I still don't get those who think this is a downgrade.

To me, pro wrestling just belongs on TBS. Hell, Ted Turner would tell you that Georgia Championship Wrestling was what really help carry TBS. Which is probably why he had a lot of love and loyalty to WCW for all those years.

No because it will allow for AEW to not be affected by the NBA playoffs and NHL games/playoffs. MLB might affect it at some point, but it will probably rarely be moved. 

[Nr1Humanoid]

Glad to hear it.

[dynamitekidd]

As long as TNT, TBS, and AEW advertise the heck out of it so everyone knows it’s changing channels it should be fine.

Looking at the TBS playoff schedule this year there's games on two Wednesdays and one Friday. But that's it.

Not at all. TBS is a top tv network like TNT and actually in more homes and more watched. Maybe if they were going from TNT to Trutv that would be a negative. Since it's smaller network, but not TBS. That's just as big as USA or TNT. Plus there will be tons of marketing advertising the move.

Yup. And if TNT didn’t have the NBA their average prime time viewership would actually be lower then TBS. This is 100% a lateral move, there just might be a 6ish week lag on getting people to follow

[sabretooth]

I watch a lot of TBS and they advertise the hell outta AEW shows.

I don't think it matters either way. People aren't stupid. They know how to turn the tv to TBS instead of TNT.
