How is Dave going to spin this into a "W" for all tranny?

>>18766869 (OP)
Reminder: wrestling isn't a sport so this probably doesn't apply.

There are 0 mentions of AEW in the article you linked
More schizo headcanon

>>18766891
its sport adjacent, I would be suprised if its not categorised as a sport.

HBO Max offers things other than sports on the live stream, they have CNN streaming on it, but no one watches the live stream even with the sports so when you take the sports, it's a dead feature.
WB is likely just going to kill the live stream after the split because nothing will be on it.

And Dave, the fucking retard, has essentially just made an argument that AEW lost 500K viewers
>>18766904
The sports are apart of the HBO Max Live Stream, AEW is not apart of TNT sports, but WBD is going to kill the live stream when the split happens. Zaslav already said the live stream isn't a big component of Max.

>>18766904
Yeah because it's irrelevant KEK GOTTEM

>>18766869 (OP)
How is HBO MAX cancelling AEW when they get 6 gorillion views a week?

>>18766869 (OP)
Imagine this ends up as a premium add on to ESPN+? AEWtists would have to pay for WWE before they even had the option to pay for AEW lol

>>18766922
Technically, they're not cancelling anything, TNT Sports is leaving Max, but they will kill the live stream once that happens.
Literally with the exception of CNN and AEW, which usually is 3 shows during the stream, literally everything else is TNT Sports.
Not to mention, CNN is going to the cable company that TNT Sports and AEW is apart of TNT, also going to the cable company, so Max is going to kill the live stream

>>18766915
>And Dave, the fucking retard, has essentially just made an argument that AEW lost 500K viewers
I see what you mean.
If AEW on MAX goes away, then TNT cable should gain 500k viewers every week. Is that a fair assumption?

>>18766998
Yes. They should gain about a million bajillion according to high level mathematicians.

>>18766869 (OP)
Bro what the fuck is wrong with this company? It feels like they're changing everything constantly.

>>18766998
Technically Dave says they do 300k-500K on Max and to understand why that makes no sense, that would they are getting 50% of their cable audience on streaming. The NFL (THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE) aired the SUPER BOWL on Tubi, Tubi routinely outranks HBO Max in the Nielsen usage charts and it's FREE.
The NFL could only get 15M viewers on the live stream, 10% of the the Super Bowl TV audience.


Since AEW literally didn't see a large decrease in ratings after the HBO Max stream, that 300k-500k number must be 1 of 3
1. AEW going 300K-500k new fans once they went to Max, which isn't reflected by any other metrics
2. 300k-500k AEW fans returned to watch AEW, which is literally more than the company has ever had, even at it's peak
3. The baseline # of viewers on the Max Live Stream is like 200K, which we can kind of guess isn't true because Zalsav said it's not a big number.


Warner Bros is going to leave the sports business once the split happens, so why would they have a live stream on Max?

AEW is apart of TNT Sports in TNT, so it's likely getting pulled off Max.

>>18766869 (OP)
hey gay retard, it doesn't say what you said it says, at all

>>18767168
Not OP, but the article says that TNT Sports is leaving Max, AEW is apart of TNT Sports

>>18767099
>"Smells like somebody died..."
Ain't that just a daisy?

>>18767185
This isn't the death of AEW, but Dave is a fucking retard because it's pretty obvious to anyone with intellectual honest that AEW is doing about 50k-75 on that live stream, maybe even less, but Dave has sold people on the idea that they are doing 300k+.

>"Not counting MAX."
sounds like Dave is about to get his wish, bye bye

>“What means that we need to have our own streaming home,” he affirmed.

Gunnar "Good Morning Saaaar" Wiedenfelds , CFO of WBD can't speak English.

Lmfuckingao

>>18766885
Yep. Gotta wait for the Davester's take on this.

>>18767239
It's going to switch the TNT Sports, but TNT sports has basically fuck all after losing the NBA and live sports streaming services have been dead since Covid, Fubo TV is a massive joke and only has 1.3M subs after like 8 years, ESPN+ has been completely flat since 2022 in terms of growth, Youtube TV only has 8M subs and Hulu and Fubo are merging and they only had 6M. A TNT Sports streaming service will struggle to get 1M subs and, at that point, I have no idea what Dave will argue about the rating.
>>18767241
He's Swedish.

>>18767282
Nah u

HBO Max canceled AEW

>>18767176
>apart
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS

>>18767363
No, they didn't. But USA did cancel RAW (it couldn't even get another TV deal lol).

>>18767282
All 1 million TNT sports subs will be watching AEW weekly, sweetie.

>>18767423
It's going to hilarious to see him try to convince people that 10%-50% of the entire subscriber base watches AEW.

>>18767196
the most watched nba game on max was 40k and they did a press release. aew might have 10k watching on max, their following is a quarter of the nba following.

>>18767417
Can I come over and watch wrestling with you? How long does it take to get to Dublin anyways?

>>18767453
One reason why, if these numbers were actually big, it would behoove report these their max numbers for their shows is that CNN's cable ratings are fucking horrible, but in terms of prime time ratings, AEW and CNN aren't far off, so if CNN somehow has an additional 200K on Max or whatever, that's a fucking 30% addition their ratings.
If AEW is doing 300-500k, you have to assume all their other shows streaming on Max are doing big, why would they hide that fact when all their other shows get WAY better ad rates than AEW?

Niccolo's months-long meltdown might put him in contention for KWABOTY (Twitter Who? category)

>>18768531
Yes

>>18766998
Not that anon
It would probably lead to no changes whatsoever.
Ratings aren't collected by looking at every single TV receiver and seeing what it's tuned to.
The people who agree to participate in Nielsen ratings are the people who don't watch streams at all.

>>18768720
I'm afraid that is the case, yes.
