Tony Khan Discusses AEW Utilizing Free Ad Supported Streaming

Tony Khan offers more potential details on AEW landing on a streaming service. 

Speaking to Brandon Walker on Rasslin’ in October, Tony Khan commented that he was talking to WarnerMedia about a potential streaming partnership and wants to figure out a solution for the fans. 

AEW is available on pay-per-view, FITE TV, YouTube, and more but many are wondering when the majority of AEW content will be up on one service.

Speaking to Gavin Bridge at the Monaco Streaming Film Festival, Khan offered more details on an AEW streaming deal.

“There is great demand for it and I’m excited to talk more about it because we’re building every week a great library of content, it gets better and better, and we can also provide more new content. I’m excited to tell people about that, but it’s still something we’re working on,” he said. “FAST is another subject. We have a lot of content that could be FAST content that isn’t premium content. I’m never going to put the $50 pay-per-views or every episode of Dynamite up on FAST for Free Ad Supported Streaming, it’s just not going to make sense, but there may be some of our programming like Dark, which are our developmental shows, or some of the things we’re talking about like conversational shows, that’s great for FAST. I would much rather have a couple people have a cup of coffee and have a conversation on FAST. It feels like a much more appropriate place for people to sit down and watch that than network television.”

Khan previously noted that he turned down a WWE Backstage format for AEW Rampage as he wanted to keep it strictly wrestling on network television. You can find his full comments on the matter by clicking here

Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
