DMAX BRINGS IMPACT BACK TO GERMAN TV
Munich (Friday February 20, 2015): TNA IMPACT WRESTLING will
return to German TV screens this month on DMAX.
Fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be able to watch a
one-hour version of flagship show IMPACT for free every Saturday
night at 11.15pm on the channel, starting on Saturday February
28. There will be an initial run of eight episodes.
This new deal is a part of the new global multi-year partnership
between TNA and Discovery Communications, the parent of DMAX.
TNA superstars including Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle, Jeff
and Matt Hardy, Lashley, MVP, Bobby Roode, Eric Young and Gail
Kim will be back in action on German TV, where IMPACT was
previously the country’s highest-rated wrestling show.
Commentary on the breathtaking action inside the ring will once
more come from the popular German commentary team of Nic Heldt
and Mike Ritter.
Oliver Nowotny, VP Programming & Content Discovery Networks
Deutschland, said: “Wrestling has a huge fan base in Germany.
The deal between Discovery and TNA means we can now offer fans
the very latest, most explosive feuds, produced to the highest
standards.
“We are confident of winning new viewers for the sport, and are
also looking forward to comparing notes on Facebook, Twitter and
other social media.”
TNA Executive Vice President Andy Barton added: “TNA has a long
and successful history on German TV, and a very close
relationship with the fans there. So we are delighted to be back
on screens in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
“Together TNA and Discovery Communications are already showing
our commitment to bringing fans the very best in professional
wrestling, both in America and across the globe.”
