Anthem Sports Group CRO talks TNA distribution.
Rob Kligman is chief revenue officer (CRO) at Anthem Sports Group, and a former WWE executive. Kligman joined Anthem in June 2024, and is looking to improve the distribution of TNA Wrestling.
"The process for OTT, it's a big distribution area. That's something we're looking for from an Anthem Sports Group perspective as we look at TNA, our wrestling deal, and for that, it's right now on a lot of fast channels. OTT has given us an outlet that back 15-20 years ago wouldn't have been around. The power of OTT is still going to be there. The simplicity of OTT is important, especially for opportunities that have content. We are content, and I still think content is king. For us, OTT is not going to be the end factor. We're going to look for a distribution deal that is going to be both OTT based, but also broadcast based to give us the largest audience possible. I don't think OTT is going anywhere. It's just going to continue to grow and people want to reach their content where they're going to consume it and that's a phone, a tablet, a pencil, from a gaming perspective. All these companies need to be on top of their game from an OTT perspective to make sure they're streaming it in the places their consumers are going to watch it," he said in an interview with EssentiallySports.
