The discussion around AEW’s TV rights deal is really heating up among fans since it’s set to end with Warner Bros. Discovery at the close of this year. AEW President Tony Khan had a meeting with WBD CEO David Zaslav in Paris, and Khan shared some thoughts about it on Twitter.
On the AEW All Out media call, Khan talked about the state of AEW.
“It’s a really exciting time for AEW. We are having great conversations. There have been a lot of reports, and a lot of them have been pretty accurate about the status of the media deal between AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery being something that has been a productive and ongoing conversation that we’re still working on. There are a lot of details. You mentioned the future of the TV deal, which is something we all want; AEW on TBS and TNT. It’s great to be wanted by TBS and TNT. I feel very fortunate that, after being here for five years, there is still this great appetite and desire to keep AEW at TBS and TNT. It’s a mutual thing. We love Warner Brothers Discovery.”
