While speaking during the post AEW Forbidden Door media scrum, Tony Khan was asked if AEW is hitting the million mark between cable and Max with live and same-day viewers. Khan admitted he wasn’t sure, saying that while a report suggested they might be, he didn’t have the exact numbers.
>“I don’t know. According to a report I saw, we may be, but I don’t know. All I know is we are one of the top sports shows. I don’t know what the NBA viewership is, I don’t know the NHL viewership. I can compare regular streaming NHL to AEW. I see AEW probably has a good chance at being a very strong league in the Sports tab on HBO Max. There are going to be more opportunities to build relationships with HBO Max. But I honestly can’t say exactly. I don’t have remotely, not even 1%, the amount of data that I get on a TBS show. If they gave it to me, I’d be breaking it down.”Tony Khan was asked about Bethel’s report that AEW Dynamite gets 500,000 viewers on MAX:
>“I thought that was a really exciting report for AEW and very consistent with everything we’ve been told,” Khan said. “While the numbers are being kept close to the vest, we’re one of the top sports streaming shows and that report was consistent with what I’ve heard.”>https://www.youtube.com/live/lBmAyuYByd0
