Warner Brothers Discovery reportedly considering multi-hour AEW specials during NHL Stanley Cup playoffs

While speaking on Beyond The Bell, Andrew Zarian of Fightful.com discussed Warner Brothers Discovery considering the idea of multi-hour AEW specials during NHL Stanley Cup playoffs…

“Spoke to someone a couple weeks ago, and they were telling me that these are experiments that Warner is willing to try. College basketball takes precedence, the NBA All Star weekend takes precedence. Rather than canceling the show, let’s put it on a different time slot and see if we could do something with it, maybe you’re going to attract different types of fans. We have another opportunity for this during the Stanley Cup, during the NHL Playoffs. So listen, anything could change here.”

“I heard from two sides, from Warner, that during the Stanley Cup, there’s going to be an opportunity to do something very big. The way that it was presented to me is that it is a possibility of a four-hour special happening, or multi-hour. The idea is still soft. It could be just Dynamite on and then followed by a Collision, so a four-hour block… They are looking to do these more to see if they can do a large block of programming and make it feel special for TV. A pay-per-view level special for television.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
