Over the past few months, the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) network has been broadcasting three-hour consecutive programs, with ‘Rampage’ being aired immediately following ‘Dynamite’ or ‘Collision’.
In a recent interaction with CBSSports.com, the President of AEW, Tony Khan, suggested the possibility of extending ‘AEW Dynamite’ to a format of three hours.
Khan stated emphatically, “One wants to maintain the strength of ‘Dynamite’ as much as possible. Considering the trajectory of a two-hour wrestling program, when it was stretched to three hours, it’s fascinating. Currently, ‘Dynamite’ delivers the highest per-hour viewership among all our shows. Regardless, airing programs for at least five hours weekly is an absolute necessity.”
Khan further elaborated, “Many might argue – ‘this could be a financially rewarding opportunity.’ The conversation about the number of evenings to dedicate to broadcasting is indeed intriguing. Is five hours optimal or should we extend to six hours? Personally, I’m inclined towards at least five hours currently. I’ve had a taste of success and now desire more, thus I can be easily convinced to schedule more than five hours of content…”
