Rob Kligman, the Chief Revenue Officer at Anthem Sports, outlined his vision for a TNA distribution deal in an interview with Essentially Sports. Kligman emphasised the importance of the Over The Top (OTT) television for distribution, which allows content to bypass traditional television outlets and instead be consumed via subscription services and Ad-Supported TV channels.
Kligman illustrated the convenience and accessibility of OTT platforms as they align with modern consumer habits of using phones and tablets. Kligman believes Anthem Sports is looking to strike a distribution deal that will incorporate both OTT platforms and traditional broadcasts to maximise their audience reach.
