TWC The Wrestling Channel rebranded to TWC Fight! on Monday 4th December. Heres the press release


PRO WRESTLING PLUS MMA PLUS TV = TWC FIGHT!
November 30th 2006

From Monday 4 December, The Wrestling Channel becomes TWC Fight! (www.twcfight.com): the world’s most diverse professional wrestling and mixed martial arts TV channel. It will continue to air free of charge across the UK and Ireland on Sky channel 427.

The rebranding marks several new programming agreements:



An expansion of the channel’s mixed martial arts (MMA) programming, which will now include Cage Warriors, Gladiator Challenge, King of the Cage and a dedicated UK MMA show.

A daily show, Cage Fighter TV, produced exclusively for TWC Fight! by the Cage Rage promotion.

The Mayhem Fighting Series: 2 hours a week of MMA from around the world, including the popular Jungle Fights events from Brazil.


But pro wrestling fans need not worry as TWC Fight! brings more good news:



A new concept, Real Quality Wrestling, will break down promotional barriers to showcase the best of British wrestling.

The exceedingly-popular World of Sport will now have five first-run episodes from the ITV archives each week.

Four shows from the channel’s original launch (Memphis Classic Wrestling, GAEA Japan, 3PW and Shoot Interviews) are to re-run for the benefit of new viewers, while the late-night Bloodbath slot returns.

As well as the previously mentioned shows, TWC Fight! will continue to show the widest range of first-run wrestling including Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Memphis Wrestling and LDN Capital TV, plus Classic TNA from the Nashville era. Up-to-date TNA programming (iMPACT!, Xplosion and the monthly supercards) will also continue to air for the foreseeable future.


TWC Fight!’s head of programming Sean Herbert said the new programming reflected the diverse audience built up by the channel. “We know there are a growing number of crossover fans, but that our viewers also include wrestling diehards and MMA purists. TWC Fight! is our way of making sure we suit all tastes, with up to 35 hours of original programming each week.

“We’ve taken great care to expand the MMA output without detracting from our wrestling coverage. TWC Fight! now features a wider variety of promotions than any other channel worldwide.”
