While speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Tony Khan talked about AEW’s move to simulcasting on Max. He stated that the move has been great, with fans loving the shows on Max.Dynamite is still live on TBS every Wednesday, and Collision airs on TNT every Saturday night, but now both are also available to stream on Max. Khan said it took a lot of work to set up, but it’s been worth it because the shows look amazing, and fans are happy with the new options.>“It’s been so great, it’s been fantastic. It’s been a technical achievement, and it’s been really fantastic quality. The show looks so great on Max, and the results have been fantastic. The fans love it. We’re still getting a great audience on TBS every week. You can watch the show both ways. We’re on TBS live every Wednesday night and streaming on Max. Then on Saturdays, we do TNT still every Saturday in primetime, and we also have the streaming component on Max. The shows look fantastic. It’s just been really great. It was an undertaking technically, but it’s definitely been worth it.”AEW was also internally pleased with their overhaul in production for the recent episode of Dynamite. AEW’s deal with Warner Bros. Discovery and the Max streaming platform shows their focus on growing and adapting. By using streaming alongside traditional TV, AEW can connect with new audiences while keeping their loyal fans happy and clearly, this is what Tony Khan had intended from the very beginning.
>>16750955lol at this puff piece
>Tony says Tony‘s vanity project is doing GREAT

>TheOne 2 hours ago>That's fantastic that its so great. Wounder one thing though. What world is he living in? Ratings are stagnant on tbs and tnt, cant imagine there's a fantastic increase like he dream upDestroyed by the first comment.
>>16750955Doesn't he call his 500K ratings and 800 person crowd GREAT every week?
>>16751011yes cause it got him millions of dollars
Has Tony ever said anything wasn't great or fantastic ?
>>16751014he's from the meltzer school of thinking
>>16750955>The show looks so great on Maxwhy would it look any different? lol it looks exactly the same. this guy is such a retard
>>16750955the tonester got the pigs squealing up a storm with this one lmao
>>16750955If anything this sounds like the viewership is bad. Seems like he is talking about the quality on max
>>16750955>Tony sayslol
>>16751038nah it’s definitely better picture quality on Max
>>16750955kek AEW fucking sucks I'm afraid!
>>16750955I hate this flimsy disingenuous loser.He never says anything. You could ask this nigga how he's doing and he'd give you some non-committal bullshit.
>>16750955>head of private company gushes over his own leadership and resultsMeanwhile in 1/2 empty theaters in Cincinnati...
>>16751063>how are you doing tonyMax is doing great, well over expectations and we are so happy with our partners>I meant you, not the companyOh the company is doing great, 2025 is when we get thay 2021 feeling back>no how are you tonyMe? I'm the head of AEW, the Pepsi of wrestling, not that other company that is the Harvey weinstein of wrestling, watch dynamite on max
>>16751071>>16751063>Yoooo Big Tone, how's the weather!?We're hearing good things. People have been excited, which is great, and I'm just looking forward to this new era coming up. A lot of things to expect, which is obviously what we want.
>>16750990Meanwhile>Netflix twists numbers to make the show they paid billions for seem like it's doing well>"OH MY GOD LET ME SUCK YOUR DICK PAUL!!!"
>>16751114>we won the war with the weather night wars, just ask Jerry Mcdevitt
>>16751120Shouldn't TKO stock be tanking if things are going so bad?
>>16751120>netflix released a number>tony's number is the word 'fantastic'it's going great eh?
>>16751129Actually anon Warners sub 20$ is actually proof the dub is winning and TK0 being 30% over its IPO means it's a dead fed. Meltzer told me, it's simple math
>>16750955>It’s been so great, it’s been fantastic. It’s been a technical achievement, and it’s been really fantastic quality. The show looks so great on Max, and the results have been fantastic. The fans love it.Okay but how many people are watching on Max? Why aren't you or WBD saying anything about the numbers, Tony?
he is talking about image quality you are beyond pathetic pigwheels lmao
>Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has a moderate probability of financial hardship in the next two years, with a distress probability of over 50%. ExplanationMacroaxis uses the Warner Altman Z Score to calculate WBD's probability of distress. This score is adjusted to account for missing or unfiled public information, and off-balance-sheet items. WBD has faced corporate controversies and has not been able to recover financially after a deal. By the end of the third quarter of 2023, WBD's gross debt was $45.3 billion
>>16750955To this faggot everything is great
>>16751192It's just me and the bucks here at daisy's place and everything is great!
>>16750955he talks up his product even when it stinksTHINGS ARE GOING GREAT AND WE HAVE A GREAT AND AMAZING PRODUCT AND BY THE WAY WATCH DYNAMITE ON WEDNESDAY FOR A GREAT AND AMAZING GREAT CARD FULL OF GREAT WRESTLERS UP AGAINST OTHER GREAT WRESTLERS WHO ARE GREATGREAT GREAT GREAT
Papa Khan must have paid WBD to keep this shit show running.
>70k
>>16750955tl;dr No milly
Tony Khan is a liar. Every time he opens his mouth he is lying.
>>16750955>great>fantastic>great>fantastic>details everyone already knows>great>fantasticThe show also does not look great at all, the production is really bad.Wish Tony would stop playing boss and go learn how to do something besides hiring people to spend money for him.
>>16751160kek at the guy tossing his dog into the water in the back
>>16751012You do know that they don't get all the rights deal on one lump sum, right? And you know that their costs don't vanish, right? They increased spending immediately and have been spending more and more.
I signed up for Max when I heard it was a 4k feed. They really should advertise the video quality more. Its way better than my cable feed.
>>16751642Pretty sure AEW is not shot in 4k, also 4k is shit for most TV and movies anyway and any competent videographer will tell you 4k is garbage. It's only good for games and documentaries.
>>16751652it might just be an upscaled image but it 100% looks way better than the 720p feed that my cable company gives me
>>16751204I've never seen an episode of this show but all the girls are pretty
>>16751666Cable company feeds are compressed too, so it's a lossy 720p/1080i. If MAX is 1080p it's going to look incredible
>>16751666I always find that wrestling looks better in lower res because the realer the video is the less believable the wrestling tends to be. Especially when it's bad.It's probably just 1080p, not 4k. Though it would be based if Tony had all his camera guys running around with black magic 4k cameras, might even be cheaper than his current setup.
>aewtists find out about bitrate
>no numbersSure is great who cares about proof.
>>16751010fpbp
>>16750955I'm excited to watch AEW on MAX. I don't have to pirate my shows since I haven't payed for cable in over 10 years. Now I can give my viewing loyalty to AEW and stream all the shows available to increase hours watched for AEW. I have multiple TVs running all day with AEW programming playing at the shop. It's a wonderful time to be a wrestling fan.
>>16751010kek basedTheOne never miss
>>16750955I'm sure. Fantastic ratings. The bigliest.So uh...where are the numbers then? First Max stream was 2 weeks ago.
>>16750955Show me one single time Tiny hasn't described AEW as laughably overhyped. Ill wait
>>16751730the only rate they care about is workrate
>>16750955He'd release the numbers if it was actually good
>>16752932This is why ratings wars are going to be dead. WWE is on Netflix, AEW is simulcast, NXT and Smackdown are the only shows 100% on traditional cable/broadcast. Streaming companies don't have to release their numbers unless it serves their interest. There aren't going to be accurate ratings reports every single day like Nielsen anymore. No SambaTV ratings or Netflix press release about how many households watched RAW on Monday. No reports about AEW's streaming numbers. There isn't enough data released to make an accurate "skyplummet" thread now, just lots of speculation.
>>16750955>MAX has forced ads regardless of subscription>no picture in picture modeWhat a massive fuck up by this stupid indian
>>16750955Based. It feels good to be elite!
>>16750955>The fans love it!This isn't business success.I'm starting to believe that Tony Khan is the most incompetent major wrestling promoter in the history of North America. This used to be Ann Gunkel but Tony is seriously giving her a run for her money.
>>16756184but you touch upon one thingthe fans do love somethingthey lovelaughing at gayew lol
>>16750955How's it going on Max, Tony?>Fantastic. Really great. Everyone is so happy with us, which they always are because everything is fantastic.Care to share any numbers?>Erm... no.KWAB
>>16750955
>>16756184>Fans love itLiterally breaks down as >A very small section of fanatical people on the spectrum have chosen AEW as the thing they like and will rigidly defend it while showing off their complete inability to understand any media
