MLW flagship program potentially has TV deal

ROCHELLE, N.Y. — Major League Wrestling (MLW) has been working on a TV deal for a while. However, that day could very well be coming soon for its flagship program Fusion.

Currently, the program currently airs on YouTube Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Eastern. It airs on rebroadcast on Fubo Sports and the MLW Roku channel Fridays at 7 p.m. Eastern. It is also available on DAZN 24/7 and on beIN Sports Saturdays at 10 p.m. Eastern.

Another media venue mentioned on the website was the Viceland TV network, which airs Saturdays at noon Eastern. However, there is no mention of MLW on the network’s show page. It is uncertain whether that deal is still ongoing or if it was terminated. However, it appears that deal is still ongoing per an inquiry of Bauer on Twitter.

A hint of this was made last week via a tweet from Bauer:

Bauer made a statement Friday that MLW will have an announcement in the upcoming weeks.

Could we be looking at a deal similar to what NWA did, moving to a subscription basis on FITE? Will we see Fusion on cable or satellite TV? What network could it be, and how many people would have access to it?

It is possible that MLW fans will hope for a platform that is equally as accessible and has a comparable audience outreach as YouTube.
