NWA President Billy Corgan recently spoke with Steve Fall’s “The Ten Count” podcast for a new interview where he discussed a wide variety of topics, including NWA Powerrr going live on January 31st.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On NWA Powerrr going live on January 31st: “We’re trying to shorten the cycles on our pay-per-view windows. We’re going to try to do five pay-per-views this year, so we’re trying to create some different dynamics as far as how to set up the pay-per-views. The longer taping cycles become a little bit problematic sometimes to keep the promotional energy going, so this is something new we’re trying to introduce.”
On leaving FITE TV: “I think it’s just the dynamic of the world that we live in. I think you see it with a lot of over-the-top networks. They’re offering a lot of free stuff to try to drive whatever they’re trying to drive. We’re in that position where it’s like, behind the paywall, we’re doing a lot of great programming, but a lot of people aren’t necessarily seeing it, or if they’re seeing it, they’re seeing it delayed or they may have seen spoilers. I know NWA fans go out of their way not to see spoilers. I think going back to a Tuesday and Saturday format where everybody’s watching at the same time and trying to leverage social media and all the things that you need. I think that’s part of the economics of it. It’s a different sort of economics than sort of being in a financial relationship with FITE.”
