With all the rumors and talk about All Elite Wrestling – which is reportedly set to begin doing live shows in October – the new professional wrestling promotion has yet to reveal a channel that they will air on.
The discussion about where AEW will air their content has been vaguely talked about from various parties; however, it appears that we may finally know which network the company will launch on in October. According to Twitter user The Fight Oracle, AEW was listed by Turner Sports (TNT and TBS) as part of its portfolio of programming that will be presented to advertisers at next month’s upfronts on May 15.
Upfronts are an event where broadcasters announce their future programming to prospective advertisers, allowing them the pre-purchase commercials several months in advance of broadcast. TBS and TNT are no strangers to airing professional wrestling as it was previously the home of WCW before WWE was able to purchase it.
