In recent months, AEW has aired three-hour blocks of programming, with Rampage airing immediately following Dynamite or Collision.
During a recent interview with CBSSports.com, AEW President Tony Khan mentioned the potential expansion of AEW Dynamite to a three-hour format. He said,
“You want to keep Dynamite as strong as possible. You look at the history of what happened with the two-hour wrestling show when that show was expanded to three hours. It’s interesting right now per hour the most we get per hour for any of our TV shows is Dynamite. Either way, five-hour weekly programming is the absolute minimum.”
He continued, “So in some ways, you would say, ‘That would be a very lucrative opportunity.’ I think it’s a very interesting conversation to have about how many nights a week you allocate to programming. Is five hours the best? Should we do six? I want to do at least five now. I’ve tasted blood and want more so I could easily be sold on doing more than five hours of programming…”
