Ring of Honor's weekly TV will debut this Friday at Midnight (local time) on the 21 former FOX Sports regional sports networks that were purchased by ROH parent company Sinclair Broadcast Group back in May.
Sinclair's Regional Sports Networks are made up of the following former FOX Sports regional entities - Fox Sports Arizona, Fox Sports Detroit, Fox Sports Florida, Fox Sports Sun, Fox Sports North, Fox Sports Wisconsin, Fox Sports Ohio, SportsTime Ohio, Fox Sports South, Fox Sports Carolina, Fox Sports Tennessee, Fox Sports Southeast, Fox Sports Southwest, Fox Sports Oklahoma, Fox Sports New Orleans, Fox Sports Midwest, Fox Sports Kansas City, Fox Sports Indiana, Fox Sports San Diego, Fox Sports West, and Prime Ticket - so if your local carrier features those entities (which have been repackaged under the Sinclair Regional Sports Networks title), you will now have weekly access to ROH TV. Check your local listings for when the series will air, but it is slated for midnight locally in those markets as of this Friday 11/7.
It was also made official today that when Marquee Sports Network, Sinclair's joint venture with The Chicago Cubs, launches next year, ROH programming will be airing on that outlet as well.
All of these moves are a needed, significant step up for ROH.
ROH issued the following to PWInsider.com:
