aew needs an actual timeslot

[Deleted]

It's hard to watch their shows when you have to keep guessing when they're on and mistakenly coming upon it to watch it. I thought it was on wed at 8, and it was on at 5 last night and I just happened to flip the channel in anticipation of it being on to manage to watch it. Half of the time, it's on the weekend night, half of the time it's in some other time slot. It's hard to watch and follow along when you never know when the show will actually be on

Right now it's at 5 on the west coast due to hockey. It'll go back to being on in primetime there when the switch to TBS happens.

The move to TBS is, in theory, addressing this.

I hate that kind of response, especially since not everyone even necessarily has one. Some older cable services still don't prove one.

It's also clearly a problem for more than just the OP as the ratings demonstrate.

The move can't come soon enough. It's good that AEW is enough of a priority to want to protect and move somewhere safer, because a lot of shows would be deemed not worth this hassle and chucked, but it's a real frustrating situation to see it getting tossed around like this.

It was either 5pm or 10:00 pm here on the west coast.

I don’t understand how all these hockey games start at 7:00. So every week the east coast has to wait until 10:00 to watch a live hockey game? That super inconvenient for hockey fans as well

Hockey starts at 7 or 7:30 local time generally. If TNT is showing a live game at 7 on the west coast, it’d be a west coast market team. An east coast home game would start at 4 out west time. TNT is exclusively airing west coast game until AEW moves I’m guessing, but I’m in Canada so couldn’t tell you for sure.

Yeah especially when I think they're putting out such a brilliant product.

All Out was such an amazing PPV and they had so much momentum and then right after it they were moved to Saturday for a few weeks and then the West Coast issue with the 5PM start time.

I can't wait for them to move to TBS.

Everybody with a smart tv (or any other device) can install the app.

The move to TBS is the answer. Nobody wants this more than AEW itself. They're as tired as the weird pre-empptions as everyone else.
