Does Sinclair buying Fox Regional Sports help ROH?

By Scott Keith on 21 June 2019


Hi Scott,

Thought this might result in a good blog discussion.

So Sinclair is buying 20 Fox Regional Sports networks, if they choose to put ROH programming on them does it matter?

With ROH currently only being on Sinclair owned stations they have a lot of coverage holes. But a lot of those holes would be filled if they were put on the regional networks.

My first thoughts were of TBS in the 80’s, they always had wrestling before baseball games and that is how I discovered the NWA. Would that work for ROH? Would it only work if Sinclair invested more in ROH to make it a better show to watch? Does wrestling only get viewers if it is live and featured like WWE or AEW?

Curious of what your thoughts are

I honestly don't have any viable knowledge of how Sinclair works exactly or the FOX regional stations, but perhaps someone on the blog might have an opinion.
