I doubt they will be on tv. Maybe Fite TV or Twitch like everyone else. I would be pleasantly surprised if they had a tv deal.
Excited to see what feuds and matches they have plan.
Eli Drake is working the WWC Anniversary shows. I wonder if there some kind of relationship?

I am still hoping for a national station like TBS or even AMC or it's network for the matter. But FITE TV is fine as long as it's free. I do wonder what kind of studio are they going to be in Atlanta?

You know something I was really hoping that the show could goto the WRAL channel 5 studios in Raleigh, NC. That was a fixture for MACW and I always loved that Studio and I was hoping for the Dorton Arena in Raleigh as Well.That place needs wrestling badly there.

Dave Marquez are in the production team. It's so great that he work for the NWA, while he also produce his own CWFH and maintaining UWN. What a MAN!
On the other hand, not to be sounding like dick. But with 2020 are on the way with WWE as strong as ever, AEW are sell out the old WCW Starrcade arena for their first TV show, Impact are in decent, and MLW probably the hottest Indie Wrestling TV right now, do the Studio Wrestling concept that Corgan envisioned for NWA TV still relevant today?
I mean, Studio Wrestling is an old time concept when Wrestling still operated as mom n pop regional show before WWE revolutionize Wrestling into multi million dollar business today. People are so used in watching wrestling in big, or at least small arena with 500 to 50000 capacity crowd, not in a tiny studio watch by tiny, probably free-non paid crowd less than 100 people. It's so archaic now.
Studio Wrestling probably sounds sexy for old time ultra hardcore nostalgic fans. But will younger and casual fans buy that? And Im sure not all older fans are really nostalgic for it either. Many of them has move on and probably not interested to "return to the past" again. Nostalgia is nostalgia, but time to move on. Heck, the NWA was produced 3 successful arena shows attended by 1000 capacity crowd, and some old man here still ridiculing that as mediocre show. And now they want to produce a Studio Wrestling?
Well, unless Corgan want to bring the NWA into the same level as CWFH. Still good though.

Lets be realistic. I'm sure a studio show fits right into Billy's budget. 10,000 seat arena's are not cost affective at this time.
The Atlanta area is perfect cause many talents can drive themselves there from the surrounding states.
Billy has said over and over again in interviews that he has a 20 year vision on how to progress.
And I'm sure based on prior interviews, the NWA weekly show will start out on YouTube.
Lets just enjoy the ride, set back and be a fan. The last time the NWA had a big platform was in the early TNA days.
Remember to be on TV, businesses have to want to pay for advertisement during commercial breaks for it to be cost affective to the network for airing the product.
Crawl , Walk , Run !

I have no problem with this. They need to be different from everyone else. This will be a huge win for wrestling fans that look at Impact, ROH, and MLW and think UUUGH WWE/AEW lite.

the studio style show will for sure be different from the other promotions. Which is what they need and so far Billy has a good core group of guys. Nick Aldis , James Storm and Eli Drake.

EXCLUSIVE:
@nwa
VP
@lagana
reveals TurnerSports was in contact about a studio wrestling show in 2017. He says the new show will be "close to Georgia Championship Wrestling" in presentation and will be an opportunity to put the power back in the talents' hands to sell tickets 💪👇

It sounds like Turner Sports was interested in a studio wrestling show until the AT&T purchase happened. We all know now that Warner Media went with AEW on TNT. Maybe there is still hope to return to its roots of the TBS days?
