In an interview with JohnWallStreet, TNA President Carlos Silva discussed various topics, including the company’s objectives for securing a new media rights deal. Currently, the promotion distributes its programming through platforms such as AXS TV and YouTube but is actively seeking a new partner.

Silva stated that TNA, along with its partner agency CAA, believes the company’s media rights should be valued at around $10 million per year. He also highlighted that the current partnership with WWE has been instrumental in elevating the TNA brand.

This is what Carlos Silva said, “Something in the $10mm/year range is where we think we should be. We’re talking to [all the established] linear guys and a couple of newer platforms that need a foundational [programming] centerpiece. There are a couple of networks, that look like Spike [TV] in today’s world, we could be a good fit for; the same way [UFC and TNA were for that network a decade or two ago].”

“A new media rights deal will help us build a more consistent fan base with larger reach. It will also provide us the opportunity to go live 52 weeks a year, and in today’s world live matters [in terms of fan interest and revenues].”
