ROH Gains New Markets

ROH’s TV show will begin airing for free today at their official website.
The FCC has approved Sinclair Broadcasting’s purchase of two stations
in Salt Lake City, three stations in West Palm Beach, FL, as well as
stations in Austin, Texas, and Providence, RI. Once the transitional
period ends, those markets will carry the new Ring of Honor series as
well.
There is talk of returning to Philadelphia in early 2012. The promotion
had purposely avoided the market in recent months after running HDNet
tapings there and being very free with comps to fill the ECW Arena.
In some markets, the ROH series is listed as “Best of Ring of Honor”
for this weekend, so if you are using a series record to DVR it, you may
want to make sure the new episode is still set to record. Thanks to
Adam LeBow.
With the TV show debuting, ROH contracted talents
are no longer allowed to appear on other independent wrestling
promotion’s TV shows or Internet PPVs. There are plans to upgrade the
cameras used by the promotion and there have been some other upgrades
that have made life a little easier for the wrestlers in terms of
airline travel and hotels.
Davey Richards and Kevin Steen will be at CRW's 3rd Anniversary Show on October 29th, 2011 in St. Leonard, Quebec, Canada.
