Under terms of the deal, Zone·ify will have access to a slate of TNA+ programming, with a seven-day re-air window for select events and hundreds of hours of matches available on demand. Additionally, it also includes original social content and co-branded digital campaigns.
After the success of the “Border Brawl” wrestling event held in May, the companies are exploring more events in the coming year, according to a Zone·ify release. The “Border Brawl,” Zone·ify’s first exclusive live sporting event streamed from Niagara Falls, Canada, became the most-watched title in streaming service’s history and drove a 13-times increase in live watch time, according to the company. Now available on demand exclusively on zoneify.tv, the event was a cross-border showdown between Team USA and Team Canada of wrestling legends and reality stars, including “The Mountie” Jacques Rougeau, Barbie Blank, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Matt Hardy, Nic Nemeth, Tommy Dreamer, and many others.
“TNA Wrestling is an entertainment powerhouse with a loyal and passionate fanbase, and this deal brings that excitement to the Zone·ify platform,” Doug Edwards, president of Zone·tv, said in a statement. “Border Brawl was just the beginning of a year-long collision of culture, content, and creativity that embodies everything Zone·ify stands for. We look forward to super-serving our wrestling and combat sports audiences across Canada and the US.”
“We are proud to expand our partnership with Zone·ify in this landmark collaboration, as we continue to seek exciting ways to push the bounds of professional wrestling content in the streaming era,” Carlos Silva, president of Anthem Sports Group, said in a statement. “Zone·ify’s support allows us to deliver unique new experiences for our fans with unforgettable live moments and dynamic events, while providing increased opportunities for viewers across the globe to engage with TNA’s world-class programming anytime, anywhere.”
