More Details On IMPACT Wrestling’s New TV Deal
IMPACT Wrestling announced a new TV deal with Pursuit Channel today, and we now have some more information as to why this was the right fit.
Both Pro Wrestling Sheet and PWInsider.com are reporting the move was better financially than the POP TV deal, with some sources that called it a positive direction forward. PWInsider.com also noted there’s no word yet for plans to release new episodes digitally due to Pursuit Channel’s limited reach on cable outlets. Currently, Pursuit reaches an estimated 30 million homes, while POP reached about 67 million.
While no other details about how discussions with other networks went, sources say the relationship with POP was largely positive. It was noted that POP will undergo changes in branding in 2019, and IMPACT was not going to be part of those plans due to the size of the audience they were bringing in.
