Tony Khan discusses the numbers for AEW programming on cable and streaming on MAX.
All Elite Wrestling President recently spoke with Yahoo Finance. When asked how the company is doing in 2025, Khan said the company is having one of its best years ever and spoke about the effect simulcasting on MAX has had on cable viewership.
“It feels like 2025 is, in a lot of ways, the best year we’ve had,” Tony Khan said. “We’re doing fantastic. This was a huge year for us. We grew the business so much with the simulcast. We brought in a new audience on MAX and streaming.
“But also, we’ve been able to grow our cable audience year over year. A lot of people thought, when you start simulcasting AEW on Wednesday nights and Saturday nights, oh, okay, well, a lot of people, they’re still going to watch the show, but people are going to migrate to streaming. Well, actually, our cable audience when we started simulcasting went up, and we have a great audience on MAX streaming every week too.
“So, we have been able to do that, and we’ve really maintained and grown a great audience over the years. AEW, we say it’s where the best wrestle and I really believe that’s true. I think we have the best roster of wrestlers in the world.”
