During an interview today with Deadline.com, Brett Weitz, General Manager, TNT, TBS, and truTV was asked about WarnerMedia's decision to move AEW Dynamite from TNT, where is debuted in October 2019 to TBS starting this January
Weitz commented:
"We obviously make these decisions with a lot of data and gut behind them. The brand of TBS is we’re always here for a good time. That is exactly what AEW is and AEW Dynamite, and so, when we look at the concentric circles of TBS and TNT, our TBS viewer is a heavy drama viewer, believe it or not. So, we know that those fans will migrate over, and we also believe that wrestling fans find the content wherever it is, and we also think, more wrestling’s better for everybody, honestly."
The initial plan was to also move Rampage over to TBS but that move was rescinded and AEW's second wrestling franchise will remain on Fridays at 10 PM EST.
TNT will also host quarterly specials (think the old WCW Clash of The Champions specials) starting next year as well.
