TNA and Fight Network announce expanded distribution agreement

TNA and the Fight Network announced Tuesday a distribution agreement to place TNA content on the Fight Network’s over-the-top App.

Fight Network currently airs TNA programming, including Impact, in Canada. The expanded distribution agreement will kick in during the second quarter of 2016.

“Fight Network and TNA Wrestling will collaborate to produce digital content and will also partner on cross-promotion and joint sales efforts in global markets, as well as in the U.S. and Canada,” TNA announced in a press release.

Fight Network is pushing a new OTT app that they say is available on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Verizon Go90, Layer 3, and KlowdTV systems. TNA programming will be available globally through the app.

“Our global OTT service now available on several platforms will be immeasurably strengthened by this partnership and we see this as just the first step in building global fight themed destination channel together,” said Leonard Asper, the CEO of Fight Network’s parent company.

“Our enhanced partnership with Fight Network to deliver new and archived content through linear and over-the-top platforms, as well as to bring TNA programming to new and emerging markets around the world, is a significant step in the execution of TNA’s strategic plan,” said TNA president Dixie Carter.

As part of the agreement, Fight Network will air TNA archive programming on its linear channels in select U.S. markets and in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East where Fight Network currently broadcasts.
